Several witnesses in the court-martial of former Greeley resident Lt.Col. Lakin, admitted he was never ordered to board a US Airways flight as alleged in the charges against him.
After more than a year of attempting to resolve questions he had over President Obama’s eligibility to be president, Lakin felt he had no choice but to disobey orders until the issue was resolved. In March, Lakin was ordered to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky to prepare for a tour in Afghanistan. Lakin did not arrive at Ft Campbell.
As a result he was charged with violating Articles 87, missing a movement aboard US Airways flight 1123 and Article 92, failure to obey a lawful order on April 22. Tuesday morning Lakin pleaded guilty to violating Article 92.
As the trial began, the hearing room was filled with Lakin’s family and supporters. During the initial phase the judge had Lakin agree multiple times that the order was lawful and that he had disobeyed them. Lakin’s lawyer, retired Marine Corps Col, Neil Puckett explained that Lakin was given counsel by a previous lawyer to disobey the orders.
