I got a rude awakening for you, swee pea, his family gave in to the prosecution, he wasn't proven guilty.

He admitted to a lesser charge because the Military wanted to give him LIFE in prison. He CHOSE to let them give him th lesser charge to avoid LIFE in prison, get it yet?

If you were in contact with the families like some of us are, you wouldn't be saying what you just did. NONE of the Marines told their famiies the stories you read in the papers.
