What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Is it illegal for a "retired" Navy officer to be wearing his uniform to a civilian court? It is obvious he is trying to sway the judge by pretending he's a good guy in uniform. This guy is a trustee of a trust and has breached his fiduciary duty and ripped off his sisters (heirs) by squandering their trusts. We are trying to get him off the trust and get him to pay us back and he has evaded trial. We know we have a good case, but with him repeatedly showing up in his "dress blues," we feel he is taking an unfair advantage and manipulating the proceedings at every juncture breaking rules. Now we have to combat a Vet! Civilians feel it is not right. What is the military law on this matter? This guy destroyed our financial future and should be ordered to pay us back and make our trusts whole. Is what he doing (wearing uniform in civilian court) right or wrong? If it is illegal, then who do we go to to complain? I went to the JAG site, don't know if this is where to go...and the site is difficult to find a person to contact. Who or what department do we go to? What can be done about it? (BTW..This former officer was courtmartialled and found guilty of deriliction of duty and failure to render aid!)
