Hill Air Force Base, UT: Representative Case Results

Outcomes at or Involving Hill Air Force Base, UT

U.S. v. E-6 United States Air Force

In a trial that made both national and international news, a TSgt EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) expert is accused of setting off two improvised bombs in Syria at MSS Green Village, injuring three other service members and himself (the Air Force claimed that his injuries were self-inflicted).  The TSgt was placed in pretrial confinement but was able to retain both Mr. Cave and Mr. Freeburg to represent him.  The Air Force is so focused on getting a conviction that they place perhaps the two most experienced prosecutors in the Air Force on a special trial team of four prosecutors and numerous experts.  Mr. Cave writes and files numerous motions to shape the trial while Mr. Freeburg prepares for opening and closing arguments and cross-examination of the prosecution’s witnesses.  At trial in front of an Air Force panel, along with two excellent Air Force defense counsel, Mr. Freeburg and Mr. Cave are able to show that not only is the prosecution’s case purely circumstantial, but there is an alibi defense they had missed!  The result?  A verdict of “Not Guilty” to all charges and specifications! 

Result: Not Guilty of All Charges, No Federal Conviction, No Dishonorable Discharge.
