Administrative Separation | Case Type: Drug Abuse (No Misconduct)
-28 September 2016: A Navy First Class Petty Officer in Norfolk - selected for chief - tested positive for marijuana and percoset. Mr. Conway and Mr. Pristera presented a defense of innocent ingestion and good military character. The board found by a vote of 3-0 that there was no misconduct
Administrative Separation | Case Type: Pattern of Misconduct (General Discharge)
-19 September 2016: A Marine sergeant at Twentynine Palms receieved two NJPs and multiple 6105s. He was reduced to Lance Corporal over time. He was being separated for a pattern of misconduct. Military lawyers were convinced he would receieve an Other than Honorable Discharge. Mr. Conway obtained a general discharge for the Marine. A favorable result under the circumstances.
CID Titling Action | Case Type: Sexual Assault (Amended)
-16 September 2016: Mr. Myers successfully obtained an amendment of a CID titling action for sexual assault by amending the case disposition to show a dismissal of the sexual assault allegations. The client was unable to go to his children's school because of the titling. The amendment relieved the client of that burden.
Court-Martial | Case Type: Sexual Assault, Disrespect, False Official Statement, Fraternization (Not Guilty to All Charges and Specifications)
-15 September 2016: An Army Master Sergeant at Fort Bragg with 24 years of service was accused of raping his daughter, incest, adultery, fraternization with a private, false official statement, and disrespect to an officer. Using a combination of a lack of DNA, motive to lie, and triangulation of phone records we were able to show that the master sergeant did not rape his daughter. The government attempted to claim that condom lubricants were found on her underwear, but we were able to show that the same chemicals were present in detergent. The master sergeant had previously received a reprimand for the fraternization. We put him on the witness stand to take responsibility for the frat charge. Then Mr. Conway argued for jury nullification. An 82nd Airborne jury of sergeants major and lieutenant colonels found the master sergeant not guilty of all charges and specifications after a 4 day trial. See blog article also.
