Lieutenant Alaric Piette is an officer in the United States Navy.
He is a former Navy SEAL who went on to earn a law degree and become a defense attorney for the U.S. Navy JAG Corps.
When he was appointed a defense counsel for Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri in his Guantanamo Military Commission, Piette's lack of experience triggered comment. Multiple civilian lawyers volunteered to help defend Al Nashiri, but they all resigned in protest after learning that clandestine listening devices had been used to eavesdrop on their privileged conversations with Al Nashiri.[1] Their resignations left Piette as the Al Nashiri's sole counsel.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag.
