Air Force Major Acquitted of Sodomy Charges
Air Force major Debra L. Meeks was acquitted of sodomy charges in
San Antonio, Texas. Meeks, 41, was accused of having a two-year
live-in relationship with civilian Pamela Dillard. Refusing to state
her sexual orientation during the trial, Meeks successfully argued,
through her lawyers, that the case against her violated the
Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
