2 April 2011 - THE trial of a navy medic who refused to go to war suffered a false-start when the judge was urged to stand down from the case.
Judge Alastair McGrigor was asked to step down by the lawyer representing navy medic Michael Lyons.
It comes after it emerged the QC had worked as a prosecutor for the Royal Air Force in the 2004 trial of Mohisin Khan, a Muslim air reservist who unsuccesfully absented himself from duty in Iraq as a conscientious objector.
Leading Medical Assistant Lyons had applied for conscientious objector status when he refused to take firearms training last September ahead of a tour of Afghanistan.
After his case was rejected he was charged with ‘wilful disobedience’ and appeared at a court martial at HMS Nelson, in Portsmouth, yesterday.
But before the 24-year-old could enter a plea, his defence barrister Fiona Edington raised concerns about Judge McGrigor. {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
