The No Man wrote about a motions session in an Army capital case below.  Tomorrow a Marine, Pvt Jonathon Law, will be arraigned in a capital court-martial at Camp Lejeune.  Pvt Law’s defense counsel are LtCol John Baker — of United States v. Walker remand fame — and Maj Forrest Hoover.  Maj Joel Leggett is the lead TC.  The Circuit Military Judge, Col D. J. Daugherty, will be on the bench.

   For those that don’t know, LtCol Baker will transfer this summer to assume duties as the Chief Defense Counsel of the Marine Corps. While I don’t know, I imagine it has been a while since the Chief Defense Counsel has litigated cases, much less a capital one.

   Baker was also the lead TC on the famed (or infamous) Hutchins case…..
