The three-judge panel ruled last week in Washington that Delano Holmes' negligent homicide conviction should be overturned because judge Lt. Col. Jeffrey Meeks did not instruct jurors that the charge could legitimately be countered with a claim of self-defense.

Prosecutors to seek death penalty for Minnesota soldier

This attainder court-martial is set for 14 September at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Lead civilian counsel: Charles Gittins.

Gunnery Sergeant Gary Mazairz escapes attainder

"A military [panel of members] on Tuesday [decided not to attaint] a Camp Pendleton Marine of a charge that he willfully violated an order by talking to a newspaper reporter about a criminal case involving a breach of classified material, officials said."

More as reported by Greg Moran, San Diego Union Tribune

TO THE NCIS U.S. MARINES ARE CASH CROPS TO BE FED TO JAGs

Two agents with the Naval Criminal Intelligence Service testified that Maziarz was moody. Special Agent Julie Haney described him as bipolar, and said he would be nice one day and angry another. She said when she delivered the order to Maziarz in the brig before his release, he was “very, very upset.”

It's been observed that "a largely disinterested and dismissive civilian populace, combined with aggressive, unprincipled recruiters, the marked decline in quality of the senior officer corps (disintegrating, and increasingly corrupt) and the dramatic infusion of uniformed trial lawyers into the battle space leaves the lower ranks particularly vulnerable."

ATTAINDER COURT -MARTIAL UPDATE: MARINE GARY MAZIARZ

"Maziarz's attorneys had subpoenaed the journalist, Rick Rogers, to testify on Monday, but decided against forcing him to testify and released him from the legal order to take the stand. The decision to release Rogers came after Callahan testified."

MARINE GARY MAZIARZ'S ATTAINDER COURT-MARTIAL CONTINUES TODAY

Please recall...

"Steven Aftergood, a research analyst for the nonprofit Federation of American Scientists, couldn't remember another instance of people being driven by patriotic frustration to break the law.

The plea deal [barred] Maziarz, 37, from talking with the media. His purported conspirators could not be reached for comment, and investigators refused to discuss any developments."

Marines, others rally behind sergeant accused in Fallouja killings

"Calls for the charges to be dropped have come from retired Col. G.I. Wilson; William McNulty of the Marine Corps Intelligence Assn.; and the board of directors of the Warrior Legacy Foundation, a group dedicated to opposing what it sees as unjust treatment of military personnel. A petition has been posted on the military-themed website www.blackfive.net."

Marine reserve officer charged with stealing classified documents

"Richards, who was a co-founder of the sheriff’s Los Angeles Terrorism Early Warning Group, is on paid leave from the department. He is in the process of being recalled to active duty, according to Marine officials."

Spc. Jermaine Johnson trial date reset again

Johnson, 26, was apprehended Oct. 14 by the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command at Fort Leonard Wood in connection with the death of Myria Silva on or about Oct. 10.

Rick Rogers at the San Diego Union Tribune

...ordered to testify at the attainder court martial of former Marine Gunnery Sergeant Gary Maziarz.

Memo to San Diego Union Tribune Editor Karin Winner, Staff Writer Rick Rogers and Greg Moran, and Union Tribune attorney Guylyn Cummins:

Some years ago I sat in the San Diego Union Tribune lobby with Mr. Jim Crawley, Mr. Rogers predecessor on the military beat.

I laid out to Mr. Crawley the unconstitutionality of peacetime courts-martial--described since as attainder courts-martial. He didn't listen.

Over the years I've kept in touch with Mr. Crawley (later to become the president of the Association of Military Journalists, Reporters, and Editors) with uncounted warnings and alerts.

He didn't listen

I spoke with Mr. Rogers infrequently on varied cases regarding the military discipline scheme under America's modern day War Articles (more commonly known as the Uniform Code of Military Justice - UCMJ).

Then there's also the two buffoons at the San Diego North County Times, Mark Walker and Teri Figueroa.

Crawley and Rogers didn't listen. Walker and Figueroa didn't listen.

Maybe now you'll listen now...

Listen hard!

Attainder courts martial are unconstitutional.

The construction, scope, and operation for attainder courts martial is the Manual for Courts Martial (or MCM).

The MCM is an Executive Order having nothing to do whatsoever with the Judicial branch of government.

The MCM does not allow a defendant the protection of a judge or jury as the Constitution's Article III commands.

Military hearing officers who populate the MCM hold no police power or punishment power over civilians.

As the Constitution forbids attainder it also forbids military aristocrats from exercising power over civilians.

MCM legerdemain allowing for a civilian federal judge to issue subpoenas upon the request of a military governor is unconstitutional.

Ya see, that pesky Constitution doesn't allow even the president as commander in chief to issue orders to federal judges using the MCM's laundrymat.

There's a more dire problem!

Mr. Obama's TREASON!

Congress empowers only a legitimate president as commander in chief to punish servicemen of the American Armed Forces.

Mr. Obama is not a legitimate office holder.

The Constitution forbids Mr. Obama from punishing anyone.

Mr. Obama can't issue a subpoena.

Obama can't order a federal judge to issue subpoenas.

Mr. Obama, stripped of the punishment power Congress invested in the commander in chief has no power whatsoever to delegate to subordinate commanders.

What this all means the government's criminal allegations against Gunnery Sergeant Maziarz are left to the Article III civilian courts to adjudicate should the government wish to proceed in that forum.

Mr. Rogers would have to answer a subpoena issued by a federal judge. A federal judge exercising the punishment power to enforce the order in the event one is signed out. Precisely that punishment power Mr. Obama, and all of his military subordinates are without.

It also means that should the San Diego Union Tribune cave in and allow Mr. Rogers to answer the subpoena, military royalty will have effectively brought the press to heal under a totalitarian martial government.

You are warned once again.

Conduct yourselves accordingly.

You all know how to reach me.

HERE ENDTH THE LESSON!
