From Wikipedia: Controversy[edit] On 16 December 2014 it was reported that the U.S. government may have withheld critical information that would have been beneficial to his case. According to a letter released by Lt. Lorances attorney, “The Army has in its possession evidence linking Afghan military-aged males involved in this general court-martial to improvised explosive devices as well as IED attacks and terror networks in Afghanistan. The government failed to disclose this information to the chain-of-command, counsel for the defense, and the court-martial. These significant failures strike at the very heart of American due process and show that the government violated its discovery and disclosure obligations.[3]
