Clemency denied

Robert’s new lawyer will be applying for Clemency on his behalf and he needs as many letters of support as possible to convince the judge that Robert is a good person and has a great success rate at rehabilitation when he is released.

Case update!
Robert finally had a face-to-face meeting with his lawyer provided by Disposable Warriors this week, and he sounded very hopeful that he could get Robert a new hearing in April or May. Interestingly, he said that Robert’s sentence was only the second longest he’s ever seen for AWOL charges, the longest being 18 months, but Robert’s 15-month sentence was also exceptional. To put...

Another setback
This past weekend, Robert’s new lawyer went to visit him for the first time at Fort Sill, but was denied access to him, even though Robert is supposed to have unlimited access to his lawyer.

Trial day - bad news
Robert had his trial today, and unfortunately the judge gave him 15 months, so he will be in for another year, since he’s already served 3 months waiting for his trial date.

Update on Robert's status
Robert is hoping to have a trial date of December 21st, and his lawyer has found someone who served with him in Iraq to testify on his behalf, so there is some hope that he could be out soon. He is always in need of funds to pay for phone calls home and postage to mail family and friends, so please help a lonely soldier and hardcore kid make the best of a Christmas in Army prison and donate...
