Lakin: 'I chose the wrong path'

Lakin: 'I chose the wrong path'

Deprived by trial judge Col. Denise Lind of any opportunity to defend himself by introducing evidence or expert testimony, Lakin was reduced to pleading guilty on three charges of disobeying orders and mounting only a narrow, technical defense on the "missing movement" charge. Lakin's attorney, Neal Puckett, tried in vain to persuade the court-martial panel to convict Lakin of a lesser charge.

"His attorney was reduced to a circus clown because [Lind] wouldn't allow a meaningful defense," said California attorney Orly Taitz, who has brought repeated cases challenging Obama's eligibility before U. S. courts. "It's a joke, just a farce."

"The issue is very simple," said New Jersey attorney William Baer. "What is the definition of "natural-born citizen" and does Obama meet it? Nobody will let the question be asked."

"The military wouldn't let him have discovery, so he said 'go ahead and put me in prison,' said retired Navy Commander Charles F. Kerchner of Emmaus, Penn., the plaintiff in a Taitz case that recently went before the U.S. Supreme Court. "He's a political prisoner."

Kerchner and retired Army Capt. Pamela Barnett of Sacramento, another Taitz plaintiff, both said they attended the court martial to support Lakin. Kerchner and Barnett pointed out that they, like Lakin, have been denied justice by U.S. courts that refused to hear the merits of their cases against Obama.

"They took away every Constitutional right Lakin has, said Barnett. "The U.S. Supreme Court and the House of Representatives should address this stripping of an officer's civil rights. A terrorist has more rights than Terry Lakin."

It ain't over until Resident Obama is exposed for what he is, or isn't.
