LTC Lakin Trial Update
The Law Firm of Puckett & Faraj, PC, is preparing the defense of LTC Lakin for trial currently scheduled for December 14, 2010 at Fort Meade, MD. LTC Lakin is being charged with missing movement, disobeying orders to report to a new unit, disobeying orders to report to his brigade commander and dereliction of duty.
His previous civilian attorney complicated his case and is partially responsible for two of these charges by advising LTC Lakin to refuse to report to his superior officer. The defense team is now working to minimize the damage caused by this inappropriate legal advice and return LTC Lakin to his family quickly and with his medical career intact.
The trial is expected to last 2 days at Fort Meade beginning on December 14, 2010.
Note that "[h]is previous civilian attorney," the one he's pointing the finger at now, was Paul Jensen, who was being supported by the big fund-raising drive over at the American Patriot Foundation (safeguardourconstitution.com). They are still using his story to raise money, though they're no longer claiming to need $500,000 for his legal expenses. Instead, they juxtapose the topics by saying "Please keep supporting Terry with your prayers and finances. / Support the Foundation."
ReplyDeleteLakin is obviously going for a plea bargain and is willing to throw at least some former members of his team under a bus to get the best deal.
How far will he go? Who's next?
