Raised in Asheboro, NC and a graduate of Duke, Couch was a military prosecutor who refused to bring charges against Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Guantanamo Bay prisoner linked to 9/11, because he thought the evidence was tainted by torture. For Lt. Col. Couch, the Slahi case represented a wrenching personal challenge: a collision between the government's objectives and his moral compass. Couch will be speaking about his personal experiences and the reason behind his courageous decision. Sponsored by International Human Rights Law Society, Career Services, and DBA.
