June 29, 2011 Update

Hello to all of Andy’s friends and supporters.

It seems that with each new week more and more evidence is brought forward in Andy’s case that further proves his innocence. Over the past few days, much was presented at Michael Wagnon’s re-opened Article 32 hearing that shows the guys were not willing participants. Two witnesses have come forward and provided sworn statements stating Pvt Jeremy Morlock admitted he lied about the involvement of Andy and Michael and did so to get a better deal. Below are several news articles that lay out the information.

The information from these witnesses is very encouraging. We are asking all of you to be patient. This is difficult to do, but it is necessary. The testimony of the witnesses could lead to very good things. Having said that, it has been over a year since this began and our experience has taught us to not get too excited because there is so much that has to be looked at in this situation. Our prayers are with those in leadership at Joint Base Lewis McChord who have to make the decisions on where these cases go.

Many family members have visited Andy in the past several weeks. Dana and Wendy were on hand for his release from custody. It was a time of joy for all. Forest and Kate also spent a weekend with Andy. They enjoyed a great round of golf and had a nice visit loaded with conversation and smiles. We will try to post some pictures on the website and Facebook page in the near future.

Andy has an excellent legal team defending him through this ordeal. A Composite team of civilian and JAG attorneys is out there zealously defending him. Daniel Conway and Gary Myers are his civilian attorneys.

We are deeply appreciative of the support being poured out upon Andy and his family. We are humbled and at times speechless. We have a huge extended family because of all this and are forever thankful to each and every new “family member”.

Again, thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and ongoing support.

  1. I have been outraged over this all day long, how is this just? Andrew Holmes is a murderer, the rest of the 5th brigade will get what is coming to them in this life or the next. This is a sad day for justice, and a absolute disgrace to this country. You are a sick person Andrew Holmes, you don't ever deserve to walk free again baby killer. ROT IN JAIL.

  2. God will cast him into Hell where he belongs. It's one thing to kill, it's another to mock it in such a way that portrays the person as a sociopath. The fact that he's smiling over a 15 year-old's body, just shows how capable he is of doing it again. Your son has the characteristics of a serial killer, congrats. Maybe he got it from his scumbag parents.

  3. How does this prove he's innocent? He's slumping over the body, pulling it's head by the hair like it's a trophy http://www.bestgore.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/kill-team-us-soldiers-war-crimes-afghanistan-04.jpg
