If in fact Donahue had a conversation with the convening authority on Hutchins’ case before the decision was rendered, that constitutes unethical behavior on both Donahue and Helland’s part. it’s like the judge in a civilian case discussing his upcoming bench decision with a member of the audience in the courtroom, for God sake. It can help Larry to show that there were behind the scenes meetings going on.
I don’t understand how else to explain it. I don’t understand how YOU don’t understand. Again, not trying to fight with you at all...just explaining why I’m doing what I’m doing. I know that you consider Larry a friend—as do I. But putting up cash for an appeal, when you know you can’t introduce any of the evidence they blocked last time...what does that get you? Especially when you demand that the support system Larry’s known for 2 years just goes away, or you take your money and go home? There’s more to this than you think.
As for lily, again...you forget that I was on the Girouard case for a long, long time. As we say in Oklahoma, this isn’t my first rodeo. (And that in itself is a freaking shame!) I know that case almost as well as I know the P8 case, including lily’s role in the aftermath. I’m not looking to bash her. As I mentioned earlier, I have no beef with lily at all except for how she jumps on people here she doesn’t know. She doesn’t know me, doesn’t know jack about me, and yet talks as if I’m somehow the village idiot who couldn’t possibly know as much as she.
At any rate, you know how to find me if you want to talk about this further. There’s a lot of information that I can share with you that may shed some light on the Donahue situation if you’re interested in knowing the truth. But I’ve no wish to go back and forth on FR with 8 million people jumping on things and thinking this is an internet peeing match.
I trust you care about truth, and so if you want to talk further, my email is 2alpha6@gmail.com.
