Judge hears arguments in Hennis hearing
By Drew Brooks, Staff writer, FayettevilleObserver.com
Lawyers in the court-martial of Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis today argued over whether additional funding is needed for defense experts.
At 1005 I got an acceptance of my efiling at CAAF, and at 1348 I got an email answer to my efiled motion.
A positive early sign, hope others are having a positive experience with CAAF’s eFiling.
I made an eFiling with CAAF just after 1830 last night, I got a “read” receipt earlier today, but most importantly this is the response – excellent!
Your motion is in compliance with the Court’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, and the motion is accepted.

It wasn’t so different from other nights. Outside it was cold and wet. Inside, quarters were close, but they were comfortable enough. The half dozen or so Marines sharing the small wooden hooch at Combat Outpost Viking in Saqlaweiyah, Iraq, were killing time, watching movies and cracking jokes shortly before midnight March 9.
