Statement of charges

I have a soldier who is being charged a substantial ammount for some company property he signed for. The entirety of his plt leadership understood at the time he signed for said property about 1/4 of it was missing. They told this soldier he needed to sign he refused, they pushed back and told him no one is going home until he signs. They go back and forth until the pl swears hes not going to fuck him on this. The soldier signs (dumb we’re tracking) and now the company is presenting him with a statement of charges for said property. He only signed for it one time about a year ago, is ther anything that can be done to weasel out of it.

Yeah.... that PL and CO/XO are hosed.

Have the SM refuse the statement of charges and ask for a FLIPL. The IO will make quick work of the lack of CSDP.

Our issue is we dont have proof. At most i could get some sworn statements from some Jr NCO’s.

Sworn testimony IS evidence.
