Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, AK: Representative Case Results

Experience with JBER Courts-Martial

Mr. Freeburg is highly familiar with courts-martial at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, having defended cases there and worked repeatedly within Alaska’s military justice system. He understands the courtrooms, local procedures, and personnel involved in Alaska trials, allowing the defense to move efficiently and avoid unnecessary friction.

That familiarity is especially important in Alaska, where logistics and scheduling can significantly affect how cases are litigated.

U.S. v. E-5 United States Army

Army Sergeant is accused of directing a group sexual assault of an 18-year-old Air Force service member and also of sexually assaulting this alleged victim himself on multiple occasions throughout the evening, for a total of eight specifications of sexual assault under the UCMJ.  Mr. Nathan Freeburg was retained months before the preferral of charges and conducted an in-depth investigation into the allegations.  After charges are preferred and referred, one of the two co-accused junior Soldiers made a plea deal and pled guilty to sexual assault resulting in sex offender registration for that Soldier and two years in prison.  In return he agreed to testify against Mr. Freeburg’s client.  Despite all of these strikes against the client, Mr. Freeburg uses a robust cross-examination defense to destroy the government’s case.

Result: Full Acquittal on All Charges, No Federal Conviction, No Sex Offender Registration, No Dishonorable Discharge.
