| Thanks, bro. Hoping for notice of appeal so I can skydive this weekend and clear my head. |

| Here's wishing you a win, in whatever form it comes. Your stamina is inspirational. |

| Well, it is not likely to end for a while -- Gov is about to take an Article 62 appeal with one witness left to go in Defense case-in-chief. After 9 weeks, we are going to send the members away for 4 months (minimum) while the 62 appeal and CAAF review proceed on a discretionary ruling that the MJ made to ameliorate a due process failure to disclose evidence on the part of the prosecution. They won't win, but at least I'll have a chance to rest -- 9 weeks and I have had 2 days off, so my frustration level was pretty high. I think my trial work will probably be cut back and I'll focus on records correction and appellate work. These kinds of trials are debilitating and the only reason it has taken so long is that the G is unprepared and does not know what they are doing. Very frustrating. McKinney was my second longest court-martial -- 6 weeks and 1 week of that was member deliberations on findings. This is ridiculous for a 2 spec murder case (on which we have a rationale basis to earn an acquittal based on the credible, emotional and uncontradicted testimony of our client) |

| Still thinking this is your last military trial case per your earlier missive? |

| Your question re: CWO-2 Riley: No. He has no civilian representation as of yesterday per my phonecon with Maj Meridith Marshall, the detailed counsel. I consulted, and so did Applegate, apparently. Meridith believes he's not hearing what he wants to hear AND he can't afford good help. |
