the military lawyer assigned to represent the accuser's interests

Wholesale Swimwear swimwear clearance Capt. Cassie L. Fowler, the military lawyer assigned to represent the accuser's interests, did not respond to a message seeking comment Sunday.
In a December letter, Fowler had argued to prosecutors that dismissing the sexual assault charges against Sinclair would not only harm her client, but would
set back the military's broader fight to combat sexual assault.
At the upcoming hearing, Pohl will sentence Sinclair based on the evidence presented before unsealing the plea deal. Sinclair will receive whichever is the
lesser punishment — the judge's sentence or the negotiated pre-sentencing agreement with prosecutors.
Sinclair may also face additional administrative penalties from the Army, which could force him to retire at reduced rank. That could cost Sinclair hundreds
of thousands of dollars in pension benefits.
Retired Maj. Gen. Walt Huffman, a Texas Tech University law professor who previously served as the Army's top lawyer, said Sinclair could be busted back two
ranks to lieutenant colonel since the affair with the woman began before his most recent promotion.
Huffman said it's possible that Pohl could sentence Sinclair to a punishment lower than what's called for in the plea agreement.
"If the judge determines he was a good soldier who served his country well other than his inability to control his zipper, then the judge might cut him a
break," Huffman said. "But either way, his career in the Army is going to be over."
