WHO IS CLINT LORANCE?
During high school,Clint Lorance  worked three jobs simultaneously
and was a Policy Expolorer as well. Clint stayed active in the local
Future Farmers of America chapter and was fortunate enough to
have some steadfast and headstrong mentors; the local VP of the
bank, the Ag Ed teacher, a Police Officer, an aunt and an uncle. He
began to make the relationships that would shape the onset of his
adulthood.
When   Jamie   graduated   high   school   in   2002,   Clint   immediately
received his GED so that together
Clint and Jamie, side by side, started
classes   at   the   local   community
college. After one semester, as the
country prepared for an impending
invasion  into   Iraq,   Clint  decided  it
was time to pitch in and do what he
could to help a country preparing to
shoulder two wars simultaneously.
On December 13, 2002, Clint's 18th
birthday, he walked into the Army
recruiting station in Greenville, Texas
and joined  the  army as a military
policeman. On April 15, 2003, Clint
shipped off to basic training at Fort Leonardwood, MO where he
spent 17 weeks learning how to be an Army MP.
Upon graduating from basic training and AIT, Clint spent a few weeks
at   home   with   his   family   and   then   shipped   off   to   his   first   duty
assignment in Pusan, South Korea.

3. In July 2008, Clint left Alaska bound for Texas to train to become a
Commissioned Officer. Clint was active in the American Red Cross
Denton Chapter and the Phi Alpha Delta Pre­Law Fraternity while
studying and participating in Army ROTC.
On May 15, 2010,  Army Lieutenant Clint Lorance became the first
person   in   his   family   to   graduate   with   a   college   degree,   and
subsequently commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Infantry of
the Army, and proceeded to Fort Benning, GA to attend Infantry
Basic Officer Leader's Course, and Air Assault School.
Clint   was   assigned   to   the   82nd   Airborne   Division's   4th   BCT   and
deployed to Afghanistan in March 2012 to Southern Afghanistan.
During his deployment,  Army Lt Clint Lorance  was the squadron's
liason officer to the Commander until selected to become a platoon
leader.
The Case
At his trial in August 2013, Lorance testified on his own behalf, while
nine members of his platoon testified against him. Lorance stated that
the three men on the motorcycle were speeding towards the platoon
and ignoring commands to stop. His soldiers testified that the platoon
was walking through a field of grapes on patrol when a motorcycle
was spotted approximately 600 feet away, and that the motorcycle
could   not   have   reached   the   platoon's
position   in   the   grape   field.   Attorneys   for
Lorance attempted to cast doubt on four
of the soldiers' accounts, arguing that they
were   granted   immunity   in   exchange   for
their testimony. The other five soldiers who
testified against Lorance did not receive
immunity.At the end of a three­day trial,
Lorance was found guilty of two counts of
second­degree   murder,   obstruction   of
justice,   and   other   charges   "related   to   a
pattern of threatening and intimidating actions toward Afghans" as
the platoon's leader. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, forfeiture
of all pay, and dismissal from the Army.

4. In December 2014, an attorney for Lorance filed pleadings alleging
that Lorance was the victim of prosecutorial misconduct.In January
2015, supporters created a petition on the White House website asking
the Obama administration to grant a Presidential pardon to Lorance.
It received 124,966 signatures. The White House declined to comment
on the specifics, saying instead that requests for executive clemency
for federal offenses should be directed to the Office of the Pardon
Attorney.
On January 5, 2015, the Commanding General of the 82nd Airborne
Division, Major General Richard Clarke, completed a review and
upheld Lorance's conviction. General Clarke upheld the guilty verdict
from the court­martial panel and directed one year off the original
sentence   of   20   years   confinement   due   to   post­trial   delay.In
September 2015, defense attorneys filed a petition with the U.S. Army
Court of Criminal Appeals for a new trial, claiming that evidence
linking   the   two   killed   Afghans   to   terror   networks   was   left   out   of
Lorance's  court­martial,but  the   court  ruled  in  June   2017  that  the
evidence would not have been permitted at trial, and even if it had,
it would not have helped Lorance's case.
Lorance is confined in the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas.As of 2018 there is a petition effort on behalf of
the group United American Patriots to seek a presidential pardon for
Lorance.
