U.S. v. E-7.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Sergeant First Class with 18 years in the United States Army is involved in a serious head-on vehicular accident on the German Autobahn and charged with serious offenses, to include drunken driving resulting in injuries to three German nationals, committing an assault with a means likely to inflict death or grievous bodily harm, as well as false official statement and drunk and disorderly conduct. &nbsp;The NCO&nbsp;denied these allegations from the beginning and had asserted that another individual was driving his vehicle. &nbsp;Facing over 15 years of confinement and the loss of his retirement, NCO retains Mr. Gapasin to represent him. &nbsp;Mr. Gapasin immediately obtains the appointment of several experts to the defense team, to include an accident reconstructionist, a biomechanic expert and a forensic DNA and blood splatter expert. &nbsp;Defense contended that the injuries sustained by the client were not consistent with damages to the interior of the client&#8217;s vehicle. &nbsp;The driver side airbag revealed blood splatter but all hospital records revealed the client sustained no blood loss nor cuts or lacerations. &nbsp;Following a contentious Article 32 hearing and several motions filed by Mr. Gapasin, all serious assault and battery charges as well as both statements for false official statement were dismissed. &nbsp;<strong>RESULT: &nbsp;DISMISSAL Of &nbsp;Serious Assault And Battery Allegations, NO Discharge Allowing Client To Retire After 18 Years.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2190 Previous Next \u2192 DISMISSAL Of &nbsp;Serious Assault And Battery Allegations, NO Discharge Allowing Client To Retire After 18 Years.&nbsp; March 18, 2015, USAG Wiesbaden, Germany.
