Preserving Error a key to victory
"A trial is intended to be a win at the trial level. Good trial lawyers never litigate just for an appeal, but at the same time must remember to preserve error for appellate review in case."
As any true strategic thinker will tell you, you can take many if not all of the Rules of War and apply them to everyday life.
The battle in the courtroom is no different.
In this link, attorney Phil Cave, actually demonstrates the "requirement" of any good attorney to not just litigate the trial but also think strategically and prepare for the "deep fight"
Many of us in uniform, know the practise well...Sometimes it is a strategic benefit to "lose" the initial engagement or battle...The enemy will normally expose operational flaws and weaknesses for you to use later in your preparations and planning...These "insights" given to you by the enemy will allow you to ultimately "Win the War."
I may have lost the initial battle at trial, but I believe that I am in a very strong position to WIN THE WAR and regain my name and honor.
The unbelievable actions and mistakes the US Army made against me will not go unnoticed by a 3-member panel of military appellate judges. I don't just have the hope, but I truly Believe that they like so many others who have read my record of trial, will in fact get very upset and professionally embarrassed that this case even took place...and do the right thing to preserve justice and overturn my trial decision with prejudice.
If you are facing a courts martial, it is up to you to work with your attorney's and not only prepare the "near term battle" but you MUST prepare for the "Deep Fight" to win the war.
Thank you Phil Cave for your vision and professional support of the innocent men and women in the Armed Forces.
