Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair's lawyers want computer evidence from his Fort Bragg residence thrown out

A pretrial hearing in Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair's sexual misconduct case ended Thursday following arguments on whether computers were unconstitutionally seized from his home on Fort Bragg.

The judge did not rule on that issue or most of the others brought before him this week as Sinclair's defense team strove to weaken or knock down the multiple charges he faces.

Sinclair is accused of forcing a captain with whom he had a three-year extra-marital affair into performing oral sex twice, as well as other inappropriate activities with her and three other women.

The next pre-trial hearing is scheduled for June 4. Sinclair's court-martial is scheduled for June 25.



unhappycamper comment: I find it interesting that this guy's lawyers are telling the judge that the no porn rule in the Middle east is unconstitutional. And that the military was wrong to "when computers were taken from his Army-provided home at Fort Bragg."

I wonder what Secretary Hagel is going to to with this guy. Probably nothing.
