Duncan Hunter, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">(<\/span>R-Calif.; <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">) <\/span>Ryan Zinke, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">(<\/span>R-Mont.;<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">)<\/span> and Matt Salmon, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">(<\/span>R-Ariz., <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">)<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/projects.militarytimes.com\/pdfs\/DUNCAN_HUNTER_LETTER_FOR_LORANCE.pdf\" title=\"http:\/\/projects.militarytimes.com\/pdfs\/DUNCAN_HUNTER_LETTER_FOR_LORANCE.pdf\">wrote in a letter to Army Secretary John McHug<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/projects.militarytimes.com\/pdfs\/DUNCAN_HUNTER_LETTER_FOR_LORANCE.pdf\" title=\"http:\/\/projects.militarytimes.com\/pdfs\/DUNCAN_HUNTER_LETTER_FOR_LORANCE.pdf\">h<\/a>. &#8220;The warfighter doesn&#8217;t always have the benefit of time, given lives are always at risk in a warzone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter goes on: &#8220;While the rules of engagement are in place for a reason and serve a critical purpose, any case that projects an alleged violation of the rules of engagement deserves a high level of attention and scrutiny. It is our belief, based on information brought to our attention, that Lorance&#8217;s case requires further review.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorance, 30, was convicted of two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in the July 2012 incident in southern Afghanistan. He also was convicted of threatening a local Afghan; firing an M14 rifle into a village and trying to have one of his soldiers lie about receiving incoming fire; and obstructing justice by making a false radio report after the two men on the motorcycle were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was sentenced to 20 years of confinement at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to a petition for clemency, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division reduced Lorance&#8217;s prison sentence by one year but upheld the guilty verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorance, who served as an enlisted soldier before earning his commission in 2010, deployed to Afghanistan in 2012 with 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division of Fort Bragg, North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Maj. Gen. Richard Clarke carefully reviewed the facts of US v. Lorance, to include the clemency requests submitted in August, October, November and December 2014,&#8221; said Maj. Crystal Boring, a spokeswoman for the XVIII Airborne Corps, in a statement. &#8220;After an in-depth study of the case, he upheld the guilty verdict from the court martial panel and directed one year off the original sentence of 20 years confinement due to post-trial delay. The case is now being forwarded to the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorance&#8217;s supporters, including on a Facebook page called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/freeclintlorance\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/freeclintlorance\">Free Clint Lorance<\/a>,&#8221; railed against Clarke&#8217;s decision and launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/petitions.whitehouse.gov\/petition\/grant-presidential-pardon-us-army-lieutenant-clint-lorance-leavenworth-prison\/bc3MtBPM\" title=\"https:\/\/petitions.whitehouse.gov\/petition\/grant-presidential-pardon-us-army-lieutenant-clint-lorance-leavenworth-prison\/bc3MtBPM\">White House petition<\/a> that has quickly garnered more than 85,600 signatures. It needs 100,000 signatures by Feb. 1 to get a response from the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the petition, supporters call for a presidential pardon for Lorance, saying the former lieutenant was punished for trying to protect his soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The president has the chance to tell the military and our enemies that when we send our young sons and daughters into harm&#8217;s way, we do not turn against them,&#8221; the petition states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorance&#8217;s case has been controversial from the start, with his supporters believing he was punished for doing his job and trying to protect his men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But his men, in testimony during Lorance&#8217;s court-martial and, later, in interviews with Army Times, criticized the former lieutenant&#8217;s actions in Afghanistan, saying he was overzealous despite his unfamiliarity with the unit&#8217;s area of operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorance&#8217;s defense attorney, John Maher, said his client did not receive a fair trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The defense has now identified information linking five of seven Afghan military-aged males on the field that day with terror,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because the government has always had that information and did not disclose it to the command or the trial defense counsel, examining 1st Lt. Lorance&#8217;s decision-making takes a back seat. We never get to that question.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, the government is obligated to disclose evidence that could negate guilt, reduce the degree of guilt or reduce the punishment for the accused, Maher said, citing the Rule for Courts-Martial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The first day at the Army JAG school, we&#8217;re taught you turn over everything,&#8221; said Maher, who also is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government made a &#8220;serious legal error&#8221; by not turning over exonerating and\/or mitigating evidence contained in government computer databases, Maher said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that information had been turned over, the defense might have taken a different approach, or the case may not even have made it to trial, said Maher, who points out Lorance never fired his weapon that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their letter to McHugh, Hunter, who is a Marine combat veteran, Zinke, a former Navy SEAL, and Salmon said they are &#8220;not taking the position that the military justice system has failed Lorance, especially with the understanding that his case is still under appeal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, &#8220;information brought to our attention raises the prospect that investigators and Lorance&#8217;s command are in possession of information that could validate the assertion that the deceased Afghans were enemy fighters and responsible for the emplacement of improvised explosive devices,&#8221; the congressmen wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They added that they &#8220;recognize there is a process in place&#8221; for requesting documentation relevant to cases under legal consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We sincerely hope that as Lorance&#8217;s appeal is heard, the proper documentations are made with reliance on the full scope of evidence regarding Lorance&#8217;s actions,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;Further, should the outcome not change, we ask for your immediate commitment to allow us to view specific (and possibly overlooked) evidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three members of Congress are calling for the Army to
