Doug, Last week the government requested and received a delay in
the U.S. v. Wuterich case over defense objection. They slid that case
into your trial period and pushed yours back. My first trial date is
February 1, 2011. That is probably the date you will get when I meet with
the judge on the 13th. The Government has already conceded that
all judges on the West Coast are inextricably conflicted. They have, or
soon will, detail LtCol David Jones to the case. His last tour was as
RDC. Don’t get too excited; he’s not that defense friendly.
He is, in my opinion, one of the best judges on the circuit however. I
have tried many cases before him and obtained acquittals, including the
Hamdaniya war crimes case, a multiple rape case and a serious officer misconduct
case. I will also be trying Haditha before him. All in all I think
that is a positive development. He is also the one that shot down my UCI
motion about 4 months ago. I have mixed feelings about the delay. I will
discuss everything with you next week. I would like to meet with you next
week. I can meet you Monday evening at about 6 pm in North county, on
Tuesday in San Diego TBD, or very early Wednesday morning in North County.
I prefer Monday evening. I’ll see if I can convince Chris to join
us. Haytham Haytham Faraj, Esq. PUCKETT & FARAJ, PC _______________________ WASHINGTON DC METRO 1800 Diagonal Road Suite 210 Alexandria, VA 22314 703-706-0442 Phone DETROIT METRO 6200 Schaefer Road Suite 202 Dearborn, MI 48126 313-457-1390 Phone 202-280-1039 Fax The information
