Lawyer: Army reneged on Eisenhauer plea deal in PTSD shooting case
Fayetteville Observer ^ | September 11, 2014 | Greg Barnes

The parents of Fort Bragg Staff Sgt. Joshua Eisenhauer have been fighting for the Army to take jurisdiction of their son's case since he was charged in January 2012 with shooting at civilian police and firefighters from his Fayetteville apartment.

Now, Eisenhauer's parents say, the Army is leaving their son behind.

Fort Bragg has set a Sept. 17 hearing to push Eisenhauer out of the Army, and the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office has given him a March 16 trial date. If convicted, Eisenhauer could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Eisenhauer's lawyer, Todd Conormon, said he thought he had worked out an agreement with Fort Bragg's Judge Advocate's Office to transfer jurisdiction of the case from civilian court in Cumberland County to the Army.

The county's chief prosecutor, Billy West, confirmed that such an agreement had been reached.
