Fairness and Due process

About us
It all started in 2013, when Arvis Owens was wrongly convicted in a military court martial. That marked the beginning of a long and tough journey towards justice.
Fighting the cruel battle on his own at first, he eventually discovered many others like him. The stories were different, but the injustices were all very similar. They found documents where the injustices were not only acknowledged by the very group responsible for justice, but there were letters written highlighting how convictions were achieved in cases where civilian prosecutors refused to pursue charges.

“When I heard about the accusations that were levied against my son, I was in total disbelief. My health is not the greatest, I suffer with seizures and they are often brought on during stressful situations. During this process I had to rearrange my entire life to help my son navigate his legal situation. I felt as if I had to do the investigation to prove my child’s innocence. I found out that his ex-wife’s mother had paid a youngman a bribe for his testimony. This was discovered after a conversation he and I had over the phone. I recorded the conversation and gave the information to my son’s lawyer and Congresswoman Martha Roby (…)”
“Our son had been taken to a prison in New Mexico to await transport to a USDB (United States Detention Barracks). We were able to see him once before we headed for home with all of our son’s belongings. He was in a black and white stripe uniform, but what broke my heart was that they had him shackled, his hands to his waist with a chain that went down to his feet.

I cried for so long that day that I thought I ran out of tears. Unfortunately I was wrong (…)”
The other side of the story
Clarence Anderson III
Clarence Anderson III was a squadron commander and deployed five times in defense of this great nation. He discovered that his now ex-wife was not only having an extra-marital affair, but she later became pregnant with the other man’s child. After discovery of her affair, he initiated divorce proceedings and was granted custody of their daughter, which led to her false allegations saying that Clarence sexually assaulted his wife while they were married. Civilian prosecutors declined to prosecute after local civilian police officers found ZERO evidence to support any claim from his wife. So the ex-wife turned to the military.
Erik Burris
Erik Burris was an active duty Major serving as the Chief of Military Justice for the 82nd Airborne Division at Ft Bragg, NC. Upon completion of an Article 32 Hearing (Grand Jury), the senior investigating officer, a female LTC, found the accuser and her accusations to be lacking credibility and the case should not go to trial.
She stated: “In this case the sum total of evidence that directly contradicts and challenges the credibility of the allegations is so overwhelming, my assessment is that the government has met its obligation to conduct due diligence in this case (…)
Micah Carroll
Micah Carroll, a former Air Force service member, suspected that his wife (also a service member) was having an affair while he was deployed to Afghanistan. After initially denying the affair, his wife confessed and they agreed to work on the marriage. Two months later, Micah suspected his wife was having another affair and so he purchased a motion activated camera in his bedroom to find out for sure. Micah confirmed that his wife was having another affair, this time with another married service member. Even though Micah once again tried to make his marriage work, his wife filed for divorce. After receiving a 50/50 custody agreement, Micah attempted to get primary custody of his children and presented evidence of both of his wife’s extramarital affairs.
