Executive summary: it is not going well for LTC Lakin. Even his own former lawyer advised him not to disobey orders.
Well well...
Very interesting comment regarding LTC Lakin’s response to COL Roberts order to report to his office. Saying to your commanding officer, “You had your chance.” is not going to endear Lakin to the Court Martial panel. I think that it demonstrates that Lakin was determined to pull a political stunt and was willing to do whatever it took to force the military to accomodate him.
