A Little Hope

I noticed that my last couple entries have been somewhat depressing but we received a little glimmer of hope today. My husband talked to his JAG lawyer about getting his record of trial back and while it could take an additional 3-4 weeks for things to be finalized (the army is never in a hurry to do anything!) his lawyer did say he found even more mistakes he thinks the judge makes and believes our civilian attorney will have plenty to work with for my husband's appeal. The JAG lawyer also said that he was going to use my husband's accuser's facebook nickname of "jail bait" in his clemency packet. Yes, she has Jail Bait right next to her name on facebook. This is the caliber of class that we are dealing with. I wish I could tell her exactly what I think of her but I will hold my tongue. It was hard enough having to see her and her wretched family at the trial. We really got lucky with his JAG lawyer. I've heard horror stories about appointed counsel being unreliable at best and not caring about their clients at all but CPT Adams has been there to answer every question I've had. He passed messages between my husband and I when we couldn't speak and told me he knows my husband is innocent and will do whatever he can to help us, including working with our appellate attorney, something he doesn't have to do. This may be a trying, exhausting time but we definitely have some good people on our side.

Also my son turned 5 months old on Friday. Time is flying because of him and, if it's possible, I love him more each day. His smile brightens my day and my life. It's exciting to watch him grow into a little person.
