The Case of the Reluctant Witness

Stephen Gill

What happens when a civilian refuses to appear to testify at a military court? Carol Rosenberg of The Miami Herald tells the tale here, in the context of the Guantanamo military commissions. Hint: it involves the U.S. Marshals Service. Did we mention that the witness is a U.S. Navy Reserve officer who is a lawyer and write-in candidate for the Massachusetts State Senate?

As usual, Global Military Justice Reform contributor (and UT Law professor) Steve Vladeck has an interesting take, found here on Just Security. (Editor's note: I would spell it mishigoss, vice mishugas.)
