I have to address this one. "You aren't theonly one to get screwed. Some people get off, some don't. YOu aren't the first person in any court to befalselyconvicted."? Really? Well, if the CID had told this girl that if she had been in the barracks where she was supposed to be instead of sneaking...
I'm aware of that, but my sentence that was stated I would be on the registry for 10 years (apples), was quickly changed to lifetime registration in civilian law (oranges) shortly after my release. So an orange seems to have poisoned the apples. I could have been off the registry 5 years ago if...
Taking off was hardly mentioned and was even dropped in my court-martial lol.
"I don't know hope you figure it out" is pretty much what i get from any lawyer who's time I've managed to get an hour of. I'm fucked. When did i know? When one of the jurors started crying after a short break. I...
I'm sorry, I meant it in the context of saying that the results from the rape kit came while I was awaiting pre-trial at Ft. Sill.
I haven't really waited to do something,there's just not really anything that I can do; the mention of presidential pardon is something I had also found in my own...
You have it backwards, My DNA was NOT found at any crime scene. The reason I brought up the thing with the marines, is because I thought it was worth the court checking into seeing if any of the marines arrested in that group DID match the DNA that was found on the girls rape kit. There's also...
As for the argument, that was the story in her statement. She snuck out of her barracks, a random soldier gave her a hard time about being out, they argued and he attacked her. I wasn't the one she actually argued with.
I know that I didn't make a good decision to take off, and I immediately turned myself in with a 24 hour or so period; I can only blame my own fear of what happening. I knew I was in over my head, and I didn't really understand how my legal rights worked at the time. As for the DNA, i thought i...
*edit
As for the tribal tattoos, I made the distinction because she described a dragon tattoo in her statement. Nothing like what I had, but the fad of tribal tattoos were the thing at the time.
I wasn't exactly trying to make a political issue of it, but it is what it is, and I only ran in fear of the exact thing that happened happening. I knew I was into something involving the federal government and given the way CID interrogation went, understandably so. I agree that the nature of...
It's certainly more than any attorneys have done to help me get it done right lol. If you have an e-mail address you're willing to share with me, I can talk with you that way, and I can even email you the DNA paperwork and the 214 so you can see it for yourself lol. I'm willing to work with...
I printed out the PDF letter from their site and sent it out a few days ago actually. They said specifically not to include anything, but I'm hoping to hear back from them and get a chance to show them my DNA papers
*EDIT
I forgot in include, that No, I didnt take a plea. They offered one, but...
Yes sir, I was convicted in a General Court-Martial, The year of the incident was 2001, but my court martial was in 2002. The DNA results came in November of 2001 while I was in pre-trial confinement at Ft. Sill, OK which I also did the rest of my sentence at. My highest rank was
E-3, but it was...
Thank you for your quick response sir. How would someone go about asking for a pardon via a higher up government official? I've emailed the FL congressmen with no reply so far, but I actually was wondering earlier today if it would be worth the time to contact the sitting president.
