SA Allegations in the UCMJ - Cody Harnish Explains
Here's what they don't tell you about sexual assault allegations in the military.
Facing this type of allegation is life changing.
The process is stacked against you.
CID, NCIS, OSI, they are all trained to believe the alleged victim and to obtain evidence against
you, not obtain evidence to seek the truth, but to prove the allegations.
When you tell them your side of the story, they're not going to believe you. They're going to confront you, and then they're going to ask you to take a polygraph test.
But guess what?
They did not ask the alleged victim to take a polygraph test, and they never will.
Second, even if you're cleared of the charges, the damage is not done yet.
Sexual assault allegations can lead to administrative separation actions like boards and reprimands.
This means your career is still at risk.
Even if CID and the JAGs are like. Well, there's not enough evidence to prosecute.
And when they realize that it's a crock, they still take it to an administrative separation board because instead of a reasonable doubt.
Now they're going to try to kick you out with a preponderance of the evidence standard.
It's easier for them.
It's going to be a long process.
Might even be a year - year and a half - until you have a resolution.
So remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
Take care of yourself.
Take care of your mental health and protect your legal rights.
Don't lose faith.
Remember, you didn't do it.
And even if your military career is over as a result of an allegation, your life will not be.
And you will absolutely be okay.
Like, share, comment and follow for more information on military law. And in the meantime,
I'll keep defending America's defenders.

Think a military protective order is just like a civilian restraining order. Wrong. It can last indefinitely and keep you away from your family. I'm Cody Harnish, UCMJ attorney.

Another day in the life of a criminal defense attorney. Today I'm advocating for my client who's been accused of sexual harassment and what do you know? According to the regulations and even the facts, he didn't commit it. But that didn't stop the army from giving him a Gomar and an administrative separation board. And what was interesting is in my legal review of the facts and their legal anal...

    I'm confused on this video and two others that seem conflicting. On one video you said that a service member may be njp by just a probable cause (20% or less), this video you state that the burden of proof at an article 15, "51% more than likely that you did it", on the other video you state that a commander can't punish on an article 15 / njp unless evidence prove beyond reasonable doubt (95% and up) which states on block 2 of DA 2627. I'm a bit confused on the burden of proof on an article 15 / njp with these 3 video. You can get NJP for just probable cause or proponderance of evidence? But punish only by beyond reasonable doubt? But if choose to proceed with njp you will most likely be found guilty, so this tells me that a commander during the njp will just deliberately categorize the evidence from probable cause to beyond reasonable doubt somehow in order for him to be able to sign that 2627 form and punish the service member and call it a win for the commander. Can this abuse of the commander's authority play out this way?

    • @ucmjattorney
      @ucmjattorney 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In July of 2023, the President signed an executive order that changed the burden of proof for Article 15, and those changes went into effect in Dec 2023. Block 2 used to state "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt." But now it states "preponderance." My video discussing Beyond a Reasonable Doubt at NJP (Article 15) was before the change in the law. Lastly, yes, Probable Cause might initiate the Article 15 process, but it is not supposed to be the standard to be found guilty at an Article 15 . . . sadly, the commanders at an Art 15 do not understand the law or the burden of proof anyways. That is why if you elect to go through with the Article 15 process, you should expect to be found guilty at the Article 15/NJP.
