LTC Pinkela Was Wrongfully Convicted in HIV Case, Writes Main Witness

Newsfeed : Soldier Pinkela Was Wrongfully Convicted in HIV Case, Writes Main Witness



I am beyond grateful to Elliot Henney for having the courage to talk about the impact on his life as well as call on senior leaders to dismiss my case.



I am asking everyone who reads this to please help demonstrate we demand a review of the case...



Write to the Secretary of the Army, call the White House call your member of Congress...yes this is about me but it's greater than just me...



The Honorable John M. McHugh
Secretary of the Army
101 Army Pentagon
Washington, DC 20310-0101







The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500



White House Phone Number



202-465-1111



To the staff and possibly senior leaders who should see this...You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by acting on this request...



Review my case and Dismiss All Charges...from the very beginning this case and allegation is a stain on the very core values we as an Army say we live to uphold...



If you had a legitimate allegation then you had the legal and professional responsibility to conduct a fair and thorough investigation of both my accuser and me...



You chose to NOT do that...



Then, as we now know individuals, such as CPT Jordan Stapley, named by Mr Henney, ran with his own personal bigotry and bias, fabricated a "story" by using Mr Henney and forcing him, actually threatening him and serving him with a subpoena to say things that had ZERO to do with the lies of #1LTCH



Yet a seated military judge, COL Michael Hargis, even after having no elements of any crime presented to him (this is a fact in the record of trial) some how finds me guilty of HIV "exposure"

NO sex...No assault...nothing...that is a fact...#1LTCH doesn't even say or describe any sexual act that could remotely "expose" him to HIV...no blood...no semen.. nothing...



Why is my case held to a different standard?

No elements of any crime were presented to allow Hargis to find me guilty of anything...How is that "justice"??



This entire case is nothing but personal bigotry, hate, fear and ignorance...call it homophobia and HIV stigma, but you took false allegations (#1LTCH admitted under oath to lying, stealing, false statements at the Article 32) and without any evidence...You failed the Army ..You failed this nation with your cowardice to prosecute instead of intervene when you were supposed to..



You have caused more "harm" to the good order and conduct of the US Army then anything you claim that i did...



My goal and intent is to get my life back and, by doing so, cause the Army so much pain (sadly that seems to be the only way we learn) that the US Army as an institution can GROW and LEARN from this horrible wrongful prosecution and witch hunt...Fix it and take steps to NEVER allow this to happen to another service member.



I still love my Army...DO you?
