Baltimore Sun: Military prosecutors could seek dismissal of Naval Academy assault case
Protect Our Defenders President Nancy Parrish is featured in this article from the Baltimore Sun:
Attorneys for the alleged victim have said Miller could be influenced by how his decisions might be perceived by the public and his superiors. Miller is expected to testify in pretrial hearings next week on whether he was influenced improperly in the case.
The woman testified during the Article 32 hearing that she had only foggy memories of the night, but learned later through classmates and social media that she might have had sexual contact with fellow midshipmen.
Nancy Parrish, president of the advocacy group Protect Our Defenders, issued a statement Thursday criticizing the “botched investigation” and the push to dismiss charges in the case.“This is yet another shocking example of why we need fundamental reform,” Parrish said. “We are devastated for the victim and her family that she may not see justice for her assault.”
