It’s expected to be a packed house at tomorrow morning’s Army Court of Criminal Appeals argument in the Behenna case that we’ve previously discussed regarding the lieutenant convicted of killing a detainee in Iraq. There are several issues that could prove fruitful for the defense–discovery issues involving potentially exculpatory expert testimony and instructional error regarding self-defense are the most salient. Here are the defense brief and reply. Here is the government’s brief. The case has also been covered at caaflog.com, which has additional case documents on its site. The family has set up a page at http://www.defendmichael.com/ that has more background.

H/t to a friend of NIMJ for providing the briefs.
