And it's not unusual for a soldier to have a civilian lawyer. Most of them, when being prosecuted by the military, do not feel comfortable with their lawyer being an officer in the military who is being rated by a senior officer in the military.

Should they feel comfortable having a civilian lawyer who holds a press conference outlining the defence case, before he has talked to his client?

I understand that part of the battle is the media battle. So they shouldn't be surprised to hear their lawyer doing a press conference.
