A judge who is also an Air Force colonel has sentenced a lawyer who is also a Marines brigadier general to confinement in quarters at GITMO
Afficher cette discussion -
For contempt, because they disagree on who is allowed to let defense lawyers quit. And it's not clear who is, because GITMO is a fake court.
Afficher cette discussion -
And uh. It's not clear he can even hold the general in contempt because..... GITMO doesn't have jurisdiction over American citizens.
Afficher cette discussion -
But it gets worse. Why did the defense lawyers want to quit?
Afficher cette discussion -
They don't have "confidence" in the confidentiality of their communications with their client. ????!?!?! (Further explanation is classified)
Afficher cette discussion -
Also, it's a capital case and they need at least one defense lawyer who has capital experience. All of the ones with have quit
Afficher cette discussion -
According to Maddow there are going to be US Marshals dispatched to basically detain the defense attorneys and force them to stay on
Afficher cette discussion -
Question: Can they do that? Answer: ?!#?!?#! I DON'T KNOW

Anyways. Take a moment to read / watch / listen to that story! I've been chewing on that one ever since I heard about it.

I've been listening to
@NSLpodcast lately, which has been covering this and similar matters in a very approachable way -
I'll have to listen! This story has me hooked.

it's honestly worth starting from ep 1, as there's so much that goes under the radar of even "fringe" media

I'm generally not a podcast person but I'm intrigued
