IMO, Lakin and his civilian attorney seek to get his cause to SCOTUS

Can a military trial be appealed to the SCOTUS?

Yes.

There are many avenues, but this is the most obvious [UCMJ Article 67(a)]:

(a) Decisions of the Unites States Court of Military Appeals are subject to review
by the Supreme Court
by writ of certiorari as provided in section 1259 of title 28.
