The criminal proceedings against Capt. James J. Yee, the former Muslim chaplain at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, fell into confusion on Tuesday and stalled as the military prosecutors asked for extra time to determine whether documents that were found in Captain Yee's luggage when he was leaving the base were, in fact, classified. article
Whoops.
Background on the Yee case, and last report...it's not been going so well for the gov. In fact, Mr. Yee's attorney seems to have the upper hand and the military/government by the b*lls.
Mr. Fidell apparently became embroiled in a feud with the presiding judge, Col. Dan Trimble, and refused to meet with him privately in his office. Mr. Fidell said that at a Tuesday morning meeting Colonel Trimble accused him of grandstanding and raising too many objections.
Mr. Fidell said he objected to Colonel Trimble's efforts to deal with the case behind closed doors and then told reporters that he felt the proceeding "should not be dealt with as a friendly and cozy agreement between us lawyers."
When Colonel Trimble approached Mr. Fidell in the hallway later and asked to meet with him privately, Mr. Fidell refused.
Colonel Trimble declined to comment.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
