JAG HUNTER HERE: JAMES H. CONNOLLY, NCIS AGENT AND FRAUD, made up the HAMDANIA events. CONNOLLY and his team of NCIS thugs are all liars!! As has been drummed into my head for months by those trained in criminal investigations: NO BODY, NO DNA, NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE, NO CRIME!!

In the Camp Pendleton Eight cases there hasn't been a single article of physical evidence shown the panels. All that's left are INCOMPETENT CONFESSIONS FORCED BY NCIS agent JAMES CONNOLLY and his team of henchmen.

By the way, lest you've missed it, repeating here, hoping it takes: THERE ARE NO JURIES IN MILITARY DISCIPLINARY HEARINGS. GET THAT? NO JURIES!! COURTS-MARTIAL, ALL OF 'EM, ARE ACTS OF ATTAINDER. PUNISHMENT WITHOUT LAW!!

Exculpatory evidence that did exist was suppressed or destroyed (CONNOLLY'S collection of DNA samples, chain-of-custody paper trails, forensic laboratory and autopsy reports, Lt. Nathan Phan's extensive computer records, and unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) camera footage). The UAV film is publicly reported to completely clear the Camp Pendleton Eight.

Should any reader discover a news report that speaks to the problem of physical evidence in the CP8 series of courts-martial, please send it to: THE JAGHUNTER

Meanwhile, this garbage is regularly trotted out by reporters the likes of Rick Rogers, Steve Liewer, Tom Watkins, Mark Walker, and Teri Figueroa and fed to hungry flies.

NEED AN EXAMPLE?

HERE ENDTH THE LESSON!!

BEWARE THE FURY OF THE PATIENT MAN!!

Hometown fights for soldier charged in Iraq slayings

"He's been fighting for our freedom, and now he needs our help," Cleveland, a schoolteacher and the wife of a dairy farmer, told fellow parishioners.

JAG Hunter: Here endth the lesson.

LAWYER SAYS SSgt. GIROUARD DID NOT GIVE ORDER TO KILL PRISONES

“Sgt. Girouard did not order anyone to kill those Iraqi detainees,” said attorney Anita Gorecki. “He did not give an order period.”

Army Master Sgt. Timothy B. Hennis

"... the military can prosecute Hennis because the U.S. Supreme Court has long held that the state and federal governments are separate entities for the purposes of double jeopardy.

A not guilty verdict in the state system does not protect someone from prosecution in a federal or military court.

The Army called Hennis out of retirement to face the charges in the military court system. He returned to duty at Fort Bragg on Oct. 30 and was charged Nov. 9."

THE EXPLANATION FROM LANCE CORPORAL PENNINGTON'S PARENTS

"In a unanimous decision by all four members of his defense team, it was decided none of the Marines had a chance at a fair trial."

I have bad news and I have more bad news. And maybe, just maybe, some good news.

Here is the deal:

The "Pendleton 8" were convicted by the government before they ever even left Iraq. That's why they were immediately placed in shackles when they arrived at the brig at Camp Pendleton. That's why they've been in solitary cells at that brig ever since. That's why every motion we've made with our defense team to try to lessen their pre-trial punishment has been denied. And that's why our Marine, Rob, pled guilty to a couple of the counts against him today.


In a unanimous decision by all four members of his defense team, it was decided none of the Marines had a chance at a fair trial. The jury pool, some 205 military personnel, was made up of their "peers" as mandated by military law. Their "peers" had no combat experience. Not one of them had any "trigger time". None of them could possibly fairly judge the actions of our Marines. All available evidence pointed to convictions.


In the military world, a conviction of conspiracy to commit murder or the commission of a kidnapping offense has only one possible mandatory sentence. Life in prison. The only question left to be answered after such conviction is with or without the possibility of parole. That's it. No more discussion. Since we knew these things our defense attorneys went to the "convening authority" Lt Gen James Mattis and asked if there were any possibility for a "deal". He said yes - he was willing to cap Rob's sentence at something far lower than life in return for a guilty plea. This meant admitting, in open court, on the record, to the things he has been charged with. Or some of them, at least. He has now done that. He has admitted he knew what they were doing on that dark night in Iraq last April was "illegal". He must also testify against the remaining three from his squad not already convicted should they continue on the road they're on and contest their trial.


What's the good news you ask? The good news is he will not spend the rest of his life in prison. I cannot at this time divulge what the cap is on his sentence. The second bit of good news is that Rob is doing well and is looking forward to the healing process that will get him out of the hell that has been his life since his experiences in Fallujah. We have also come to know and understand just how devasting the effect of the losses that he suffered in November and December of 2004, and how they have forever changed his life.


We will all be in court for the next few days, possibly until sometime Friday, talking about how much we love and support him and what a great guy he is in an effort to get him the lightest sentence possible. After that we'll be seeking your help in getting out the word that we need letters written to the aforementioned convening authority, Lt Gen James Mattis to try to secure a clemency deal for Rob. Failing that, we have a lame duck president who will be passing out a few pardons at the end of his next term. He could use your input as well.


Due to the fact that we have to try hard to not aggravate General Mattis at this time (since he can do us some good) we have to lay low and not go on network TV and radio blasting what has occurred. I don't know where I'll find the strength to control myself but hopefully it will turn up. We will advise you of mailing addresses, email addresses, that sort of thing when we need your letter writing help. There is also an appeal process that's automatic in military law but that could take years if not decades so there's not much help there.

More when we know more,
Terry & Deanna

TRIAL LAWYERS AND FELONS IN THE BATTLESPACE...A MATCH MADE IN THE PENTAGON!

Military Grants More Waivers to Recruits

"More than half of the Marine recruits needed a waiver in 2006, a bit higher than in 2003, and largely due to their more strict drug requirements. Felony waivers made up about 2 percent of the Marine waivers, while other lesser crimes made up about 25 percent, both up slightly from 2003."
