Sir, Cpl Siddiqi is a fluent English
speaker. He is at Camp Lejeune. We don’t have a trial schedule yet. We will
be getting one tomorrow. I think we’ll have enough time in late April or May
to get him evaluated. I intend to bring him to the DC area for you to evaluate
him. In the mean time I will submit a formal request to have you detailed to
the defense team. Vr, Haytham From: L. Andrew Huff
[mailto:landrewhuff@pol.net] Sir, Sounds like a bad 706 board. The question of mental disease
or defect at the time of the offense is almost always a more difficult question
to answer. I’m on a project with Headquarters Air Force right now and the
project will not conclude until 15 Apr 10 at the earliest. On 16 Apr 10 I move up in my organization to Deputy Director and on
that same day we get new AFRRI Director who will be new to the
organization. This leaves me unable to commit right now. What is your time line? Where is Cpl Siddiqi now? Does
he speak English well? The reason for the last question: evaluations
are more difficult and time consuming when there is a significant language
barrier. v/r, L. ANDREW HUFF, Col, USAF, MC, SFS From: Haytham Faraj
[mailto:haytham@puckettfaraj.com] Dr. Huff: I am Neal’s partner. He emailed you about a young man
that I represent. He has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by
the 2nd Marine Division psychiatrist. The young man, Cpl Imad
Siddiqi, is an Afghan immigrant to the United States. He is accused of
assaulting and conspiring to assault an Afghani man who was believed to be a
member of the Taliban. Ever since returning from deployment Cpl Siddiqi
had been under tremendous mental strain. He attempted to commit suicide 8
weeks ago and was hospitalized in the mental health ward at Bethesda for about
3 weeks. Recently he underwent a 706 board with a psychologist who
decided that he was competent to stand trial but did not comment on his mental
condition at the time of the alleged offense. I would like to retain you to be our consultant on this
case. I request a recent copy of your CV so we can get you appointed as a
defense expert consultant. I am available at the number below if you have
questions. Haytham Faraj, Esq. PUCKETT & FARAJ, PC WASHINGTON DC׀ SAN DIEGO ׀ DEARBORN 888.970.0005 Toll Free 202.280.1039 Fax The information
