Army judge tells officer: Shut up and be punished!:  Defense counsel warns 'fair trial' impossible under military rulings

An Army judge has made it "impossible" for a career medical officer to get a fair hearing on charges he refused to deploy to Afghanistan because of concern that obeying orders in the chain of command under an ineligible commander in chief would be illegal, his attorney says.


The rulings came today from Col. Denise Lind, who, in effect, told Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin to pound sand.
Rocks actually. He faces up to four years at hard labor if convicted in his case.

"We got absolutely slammed today," said Paul R. Jensen, lead counsel for the defense. "It's impossible for us to have a fair trial under these rulings." . . . . .
