Army told Lemmer of psychiatric discharge offer during trial
Gainesville trial testimony in the Gainesville Eight case recounts FBI informant William W. Lemmer saying the Army offered a psychiatric discharge or a second Vietnam tour. He returned to Vietnam for a month in 1971 before evacuation. The defense probes his mental health and drug use while prosecutors flag potential bias. The eight defendants face charges over alleged violent disruptions at the 1972 Republican National Convention.
