Military Criminal Defense Lawyer (Former JAG
Attorney) News:
Recently, a military enlisted member
who received two administrative disciplinary actions surrounding claims of
sexual misconduct (UCMJ Article 120 and
Article 134) had those actions dropped by the commander based on the defense
rebuttal submissions. The accused military member was defended by military law
attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V.
Stevens, P.C.).
The client received these two
disciplinary actions within weeks of each other. The defense responded to each. It was the rebuttal to the second action that
ultimately resulted in the actions being withdrawn and “torn up” by the
commander, instead of being filed in the client’s personnel records. Due to the nature of adverse administrative
actions in the military, no further details about this case can be
released.
While this military justice case was
successfully defended, and the client was cleared, it is important to
understand that every case has different facts, and success in previous cases
does not guarantee success in any particular future case. No military
lawyer or civilian defense lawyer, including those who specialize in military
law, can guarantee the outcome of any military trial or case.
For more information about the
military justice system, particularly cases alleging rape and/or sexual
assault in violation of UCMJ Article 120, type “rape” or “sexual assault”
