This afternoon we filed the attached Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the U.S Supreme Court. In the Petition, we challenge the Army'sSexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention ("SHARP") Program to the extent that it displaces the Constitutional due process rights our warriors should be afforded with a presumption of guilt. The SHARP Program prevents Army prosecutors and commanders from making solid, common-sense decisions as to whether a case should proceed. Combating sexual assault in the military is a laudable goal, to be sure, but we owe our warriors more than a knee-jerk reaction, based on political expediency, that supplants the presumption of innocence and other Constitutional due process guarantees.
