CAAFLog is reporting that CAAF has granted the following issue in United States v. Blazier.
Whether, in light of Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004), Appellant was denied meaningful cross-examination of government witnesses in violation of his Sixth Amendment right of confrontation when the military judge did not compel the government to produce essential Brooks Law officials who handled Appellant’s urine samples and instead allowed the expert toxicologist to testify to non-admissible hearsay. See Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, 557 U.S. ___, 129 S. Ct. 2527 (2009).
I’m a happy man. I have been raising this issue in every urinalysis case I’ve done since Crawford. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to convince too many others to raise it. Finally CAAF is going to take a look at the issue. May well lose, but at least there’s a chance. You can’t win unless you raise the issue at trial.
A Reserve Marine master sergeant at Camp Pendleton was sentenced to a reduction in rank and 60 days confinement after a court martial found him guilty of removing classified documents from files and possessing an unauthorized machine gun.
The members acquitted Master Sgt. Reinaldo Pagan of other specifications involving the alleged mishandling of intelligence files about possible terrorist activities in Southern California.
Pagan, a police officer in the Northern California city of Hayward, is the latest Marine to stand trial in a case involving the alleged leaking of files to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
A Marine sergeant charged with faking battle injuries to get freebies intended for wounded warriors will plead guilty on Wednesday.
