Did it not use to be that a victim would go to the chaplain? If it were me (it is so easy to Monday night quarterbacking) I would have, so having a chaplain testify on behalf of the prosecution must make an impact on the credibility of the accused??
I PINGed names to those who have replied on the prior Jennifer Dyer thread and to those who have followed the Hasan Akbar case and the Hunter Army Air Field Hoax with a few from the thread of the molester who committed suicide.
I also added a few names of those who I have enjoyed reading in years past, let me know if you wish not to be PINGED to this story/case in the future. I so enjoy a good, fair and polite discussion on current events, so thanks in advance.
Apr. 23, 2005 Town torn over molester's suicide (plus my vanity as the victim of a violent crime)
4/26/2005 UPDATE: Prosecution rests in penalty phase in Akbar court-martial - Hasan Akbar)
thanks for the ping
The article doesn't mention it, but if the complaining witness testified as to what she claims she told the Chaplian, confidentiality is waived and the Chaplain may testify as to what really happened.
Ping bump.
Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping, FMC.
I noticed that the later posts had the rest of the story. Dyer was a 1LT, being deployed to Iraq, and a deputy sheriff. But after leading Hall to her room, she was too afraid to cry for help? Right......
A "Kinder, Gentler, Military" ping!
