077 United States v. Douglas Rogan

I don't know if we even consider it an unwritten code that you don't date your ex's friends or your friend's exes. I feel like that's probably actually written somewhere when it comes to explaining to people how they should behave. We give high school students a little bit of a pass because their social circles are small and it's kind of low stakes in most high school relationships. But when the world opens up to you, I think we can all agree that your dating pool should too. I guess Specialist Second Class Douglas Rogan never got that memo.

 

I relied on the NMCCA opinion heavily, and reference information from Major Rendleman's Law Review Article regarding unsworn statements.
