This John Henry Browne is a high priced high flying lawyer. How is he getting paid? Does the military allow a defendant to choose a civilian attorney and then pick up the tab? I don’t imagine an E-6 could come up with the fees this guy charges. Any one have any idea how this works in the military?
From what I have read on FR, Bales is from a family of means. I think he and his family will have to pick up the tab. History shows that a civilian lawyer is better in these cases than a military lawyer. In particular, I am thinking about a book I read about Son Thang. It’s been about 10 years since I read the book, so I won’t go I to details because I will most likely distort the facts.
A better question is how can I donate to Sgt Bales defense fund?
