To be honest, I read Jensen's filing and compared it to the statutory threshold he has to meet. I think it has pretty much zero chance of being granted.
Part of the problem is I don't think Jensen really knows what he's doing in a military law environment. His briefs evidence basic competence in making a filing, which puts him one up on others not to be named, but his frustration as to why he's not getting anywhere seems pretty revealing. I think it can only be a positive for Lakin to get a civilian on his team who actually understands military law and can work with his military attorney.
And I think you’re make’n stuff up because you know the appeals court is going to drop the hammer on Col Lind for not allowing a defendant to properly defend himself.
How does a defendant fire his attorney of record during the middle of a trial without first obtaining the courts permission?
