Daniel Sandate was the second known U.S. soldier to be deported from Canada (after having fled there from the United States Army) to the United States when he was deported July 16, 2008 from Niagara Falls, Canada. Daniel Sandate was represented by James M. Branum (of Pine Ridge, Oklahoma), William Durland (of Colorado Springs, Colorado) and Captain Seth Cohen (U.S. Army Trial Defense Service). Long's principal sentencing arguments focused on Sandate's suffering from post traumatic stress disorder which was the result of his time in Iraq and his potential for rehabilitation upon release.
