Litigator Libations

58 - In re RW; Maximizing MRE 412; and Firearm Prohibition Update

Darrel-the-DCAP Season 3 Episode 58

In this week's episode we stay very practical and have three presenters!  I start with a discussion about the recent AFCCA case of In re RW, where the court granted a victim's writ based on it finding that the military judge erred by requiring the mental health treatment facility to provide patient records so an attorney outside of the treating organization for a review and removal of privileged materials.  We then hear from Major Ciara Ryan regarding how defenders can prevent trial counsel from misappropriating hard won defense MRE 412 evidence.  Finally, we get an excellent update from Captain John Fredericks on the effort to protect client's from unconstitutional firearm prohibitions.
