Military
Judge to Rule on Crucial Motion in LtCol Chessani Case on June
17th
Friday, June 13,
2008
ANN ARBOR, MI – Last night, Military Judge
Colonel Steven Folsom, USMC, informed counsel that the hearing in the Chessani
case, originally scheduled for three days, June 16–18, has been changed to only
one hour on Tuesday June 17, 2008 at 9:00am PST. Col Folsom indicated that the
only business he will address is his ruling on the defense motion to dismiss
LtCol Jeffrey Chessani’s case because of unlawful command influence.
On June 4, 2008, a military jury
consisting of seven officers, acquitted First Lieutenant Andrew Grayson, USMC,
of all charges related to the Haditha incident. After his acquittal, Grayson,
referring to LtCol Chessani, declared that he was “one of the most steadfast
men… He led by example and he knew the difference between right and wrong.”
LtCol Chessani is being defended by
the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann
Arbor, Michigan.
