Military
Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:
Recently, a
non-commissioned officer (NCO) defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens
(Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) had the Article 15
(nonjudicial punishment) he received that alleged larceny (UCMJ Article 121),
fraudulent travel vouchers (UCMJ Article 132), and false official statements
(UCMJ Article 107) dropped and he was cleared to continue his military career.
The NCO client was
accused of these offenses through an Article 15 (nonjudicial punishment) that
he accepted, but he pled not guilty and disputed the allegations and the action
itself. Based on the defense submission
on the client's behalf, the allegations and the Article 15 were dropped, and
the client's record was cleared.
While this military case
was successfully defended, 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 larceny,
wrongful appropriation, and fraudulent travel vouchers in violation of UCMJ
Articles 121, 107, and 132, please see:
