Bill Simpich writes: "'Special security precautions do not erode the presumption of innocence.' Judge John Head's observation captured his style of jurisprudence. Mindful of public relations as several security officers monitored the proceedings in the small courtroom, but vigilant in making sure that every one of First Lt. Watada's witnesses would be deemed 'irrelevant.' Absent a stroke of luck, the lieutenant's defense against the charges of missing movement to Iraq, and 'disgraceful' conduct unbecoming an officer, have been whittled down to his own testimony and that of his commanding officer as a character witness. When Watada's attorney, Eric Seitz, excoriated the proceedings as an 'atrocity' and accused the judge of judicial misconduct, the court's response was almost sheepish."
