We will be joined by panelists Chris Czaplack, the original lead prosecutor in the case, and , one of the decorated military witnesses, as they have a conversation about the importance of the laws and customs of war, and the pursuit of justice in the hardest of circumstances.  

Our panelists will explore:

  • Whether this case frustrates battlefield accountability by  service members from reporting war crimes.
     
  • Whether the military justice system is so irreparably flawed that it should be replaced by the federal civilian criminal justice system.
     
  • If the rule of law can be shielded from presidential interference even though they sit as the commander-in-chief?
