Baltimore Sun: Effort to strip Naval Academy official of review in sex assault case is denied
Attorney Susan Burke is featured in this Baltimore Sun article:
Her attorney argued that Miller is biased in favor of the football team, and is worried about his reputation and that of the academy. In court papers, she also said Miller did nothing to curtail long days of questioning about the party and the woman’s sexual history during a preliminary military review, called an Article 32 hearing.
“That’s not a judicial temperament we need for a case of this gravity,” said Susan Burke, the woman’s attorney, during Monday’s hearing.
Following the eight-day Article 32 hearing at the Washington Navy Yard in August and September, an independent investigative officer sent recommendations to Miller on how to proceed in the case — order a court-martial, punish the football players administratively or dismiss the case.
