From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert L. Swann is a military officer and lawyer.[1] He replaced Fred Borch as chief prosecutor of the Guantanamo military commissions.
Leaked memos had named Borch as trying to corrupt the commissions.[2][3] Other prosecutor wrote that Borch had told them the presiding officers had been chosen so they would be sure to convict, and that all the evidence that suggested that the suspects were innocent would be given a secret security classification, so that the suspect, and his defense counsel, would not learn of its existence.
