ferrariman610 asked:
I am the defense attorney in a mock of the My Lai trial, and need to know the attorney’s role.
This is for an 8th grade enrichment class and I don’t know what the military defense attorney’s role is. Is the role the same as any defense attorney?

the same role as a defense attorney in civilian life. The only difference is the Judge and Jury are Military.

Your role is to defend your client against the charges.

Is this a trick question? Am I so old that I can’t understand the question? I asked myself, WHAT DOES A DEFENSE ATTORNEY DO. I was going to answer quickly and say THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY DEFENDS THE DEFENDANT. But then I re-read the question and tried to find the the TRICK in it.
I’M SO CONFUSED!!

To defend the accused, within the parameter’s of the UCMJ!

As been held true as of late…the defense attorney has absolutely NO role in a military trial. Except to be used as a “show piece” so that Adolph Bush and his military thugs can say “see, we do it fairly”!
