US Army ignores its own guidance on the conduct of investigations

Legal Guidance to Commanders FM 27-1

It may have been released in 1992, but its still relevant and dare I say "Common Sense" !

If we, as an Army, take time to write regulations and guidance then it is the professional responsibility of all Commanders to adhere to that guidance.

This is a direct quote from Chapter 3 -

 

"You must ensure that all reported offenses are quickly and thoroughly investigated. You may conduct the preliminary inquiry yourself or direct someone else to do so. (See MCM, R.C.M. 303.) In serious or complex criminal cases, you should seek the help of law enforcement personnel.

When collecting information that may prove or disprove allegations of misconduct, investigators should ask three primary questions:

• Was an offense committed?

• Was the suspect involved in the offense?

• What is the character and military record of the suspect?

Investigators must always remain impartial.

"A one-sided investigation may result in an injustice to the accused and an embarrassment

to the command."  

SO I have to ask...Why didn't my Command (or so many other Commands) follow written Army Guidance? 

What was MG Linnington so afraid of , that he couldn't even have the professional courage to ensure that a thorough and complete investigation of the allegations took place?

It is now a part of my record of trial.
 
You did not conduct a complete investigation.
You did not investigate the Lieutenant making the disgusting allegations against me.
You ignored FACTS that your own SJA staff discovered about the complaining witness.
You ignored the sworn testimony of the complaining witness at the Article 32 - of his admitting to lying to CID, lying to the prosecution, stealing passwords from my home, hacking and identity theft to my email and a website, presenting false information about another person...All under Oath.

You prosecuted my because I am HIV +  that is a fact.  If I was HIV - there was no case or allegation.

If you had followed Army Guidance and conducted a true investigation, you would have found that the complaining witness is a liar and you had the FACTS to prove it, but you failed...You took the easy way out...

You chose to "CYA" and send it to a wold in judges robes...No evidence whatsoever...just a story from a liar and some how that man with the robes on said the word guilty.

I am innocent and you know it and so does the complaining witness.

I will remain unwavering in my LIFE to show the truth about the broken UCMJ process and the abortion of justice carried out by the Military District of Washington Command.

The Appellate Judges are going to see the FACTS that were hidden and disallowed by both the prosecution and the military judge.

The Appellate Judges are going to also see FACTS about the complaining witness of what he did the night before he testified at trial...better yet his family is going to see what he did and so will the world. 

I plead Not Guilty because I am NOT GUILTY.
