Description:U.S. Army Special Forces Sergeant First Class Kelly A. Stewart admitted to having a one-night stand with a 28-year-old German woman the night of August 22, 2008. She did, too. Both knew sex was part of the plan when they left the discotheque near Stuttgart. Two months later, however, her story changed and the highly-decorated Green Beret combat veteran soon found himself facing rape and kidnapping charges.During court-martial proceedings one year later, Stewart faced an Army court-martial panel comprised of soldiers who had recently returned from a 16-month deployment with the Army attorney serving as Stewart’s lead prosecutor.Despite a lack of both physical evidence and eyewitnesses to the alleged crimes, it took only two days for the panel to find Stewart guilty of numerous sex offenses and another day for them to sentence him to eight years behind bars.Incredibly, the conviction was based almost entirely on the testimony of Stewart’s accuser, a one-time mental patient who, with the backing of the German government, refused to allow her medical records to be entered as evidence.When several witnesses came forward during a post-trial hearing in May 2010 to reveal startling proof that the accuser had lied several times during the trial, their words were largely ignored by the court – but not by the one-star general with the authority to change Stewart’s life.In August 2010, the general took five years off of Stewart’s sentence and made him eligible for parole immediately. Nine months later, he was released from prison.Though released from the U.S. Military Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., Stewart is fighting for a new trial so he can clear his name and shed the “sexual offender” label that will stay with him the rest of his life if justice remains out of reach.Based on extensive interviews and never-before-published details taken from the actual Record of Trial, Three Days in August: A U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier’s Fight For Military Justice by Bob McCarty paints a portrait of military justice gone awry that’s certain to make your blood boil.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
