United States v. SrA, USAF [MacDill AFB, FL]
Apr 15, 2026OUTCOME: Acquittal
MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. A Senior Airman (E-4) in the United States Air Force was charged with wrongful use of a controlled substance (MDMA / Ecstasy) in violation of Article 112a, UCMJ, after ... testing positive on a urinalysis. The Senior Airman retained Military Justice Attorneys (MJA) to defend against the allegation. After thoroughly investigating the evidence, MJA identified numerous problems with the collection, handling, and testing of the alleged positive sample. MJA aggressively fought against the government's case during the court-martial and offered a defense that not only highlighted the Accused's impeccable integrity, loyalty, and service, but also brought attention to legal and factual insufficiencies in their evidence. After a fully litigated Special Court-Martial, the panel (jury) voted to fully acquit the Airman of all alleged misconduct. (April 2026)
