First of all, the Army only has to make the charge that the Lt Col refused a lawful order. It is up to the LT Col’s counsel to request the birth certificate.

Second, it is highly unusual for a judge to refuse documents that would exonerate an individual, especially if the documents in question are key to the defense of the accused. Defense simply requests the BC and the judge issues a court order to the state of Hawaii to release it.

I don’t pretend to be a military lawyer but......

The very concept of chain of command is at issue. The head of the chain of command must be proved valid. Every order by every officer goes to the very top. No valid top, no valid chain

Good, thanks for the info.

So the judge does,in fact,deny any motion made by the defense.He's found guilty,given a sentence and his lawyers appeal.Hussein's stooges at the DoD and the Department of Just Us see to it that these appeals take years.Hussein's out of office before the appeals are finally decided.

Although I'm not a lawyer that's the worst case scenario for Hussein and the best case scenario for the Colonel....IMO.
