U.S. v. O-6 United States Army

In a case which made national news, an Army Colonel and West Point faculty member had court-martial charges preferred and referred against him for allegations relating to his interactions with cadets.  The case was referred and then dismissed several times before Cave & Freeburg, LLP,  was retained.  At a motions hearing, Mr. Freeburg argued for dismissal of the charges due to the government referring them for an improper purpose.  The judge agreed and dismissed all charges with prejudice!  The Army then appealed the dimissal to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals where Mr. Cave argued that that government’s appeal should be denied.  The Army Court of Criminal Appeals agreed with Mr. Cave and rejected the governments appeal resulting in the client retiring without any conviction!

Result: Charges Dismissed With Prejudice. No Federal Conviction, No Dishonorable Discharge, Retirement Preserved.
