"There have been reports of roughing up prisioners in transport or in
interrogation, a couple incidents of delaying medical treatment,
destruction of private property or theft, kidnapping, amoung others. In
most cases the
investigative team has concluded that there is nothing to the accusation.
The others go to a standard article 32 hearing, what equates to a grand
jury in Starfleet. To date I'm not aware of any complaint that has gone to
an
article 32 hearing that has gone to trial."
Jackson had been listening and was impressed with the Counselor. She had
not back ground in the law, as far as he knew, but she seemed to be plying
this situation with the right stuff. "Would it be possible for us to get
access to those reports?"
"That should not be a problem. I'll request that they be sent to you."
"Who filed the complaints? What types of demographics are involved for
the 'victims'?"
"A demographic survey was not done, at least to my knowledge, Admiral. As
to who filed the complaints that would be a combination of the eledged
victim, their family, and in some cases doctors treating the wounded."
David scoffed visibly. He'd had almost all that he could take, "Pardon me
for interrupting Admiral. I will state unequivocally that I had medical care
delayed and was later denied the opportunity to contact Spacedock as I'd
requested several times."
Jared raised his hand to stop David. He did not want this to get
emotional. "Commander, you must have collected general demographic
information when
the reports were created from the alleged attacks. That just has to be
collated for evaluation." He paused for a moment and glanced toward
Boulay. "And as for your alleged victims, Captain Boulay here, is correct.
He is one of
those filing complaints about his treatment while he was out here."
"I must apologize, sir, but I don't have any information about any analysis
that may have been done on the people filing the complaints. I do know that
the vast majority of them took place in areas where Starfleet patrols jointly
with the PDF. In areas where Starfleet is the sole operating force,
complaints are markedly less. As for Captain Boulay's allegations, there has
been
no formal complaint filed within this district."
Abrams was not trying to pick a fight, but they were starting to take out
their frustrations on the messenger.
Jared turned back to Abrams. "I am sorry, Commander. I did not mean to
make it seem like we were attacking you personally. My team and I are here to
investigate what happened to Captain Boulay and others like him. I was hoping
that you could help us a little with pulling together the paperwork that has
been filed in such incidents."
"I will do what I can, sir, to help."
"Has there been any rumors of such incidents in areas where Starfleet has no
presence?"
"That's hard to say. As I said earlier we don't track complaints against the
PDF. Although, it does stand to reason that they would have some. That said,
I can't speculate as to what complaints they would have."
