Premature popping of the cork here... Sounds like the hearing officer has more common sense than the NCIS and the prosecutors. July 1 is already marked on my calendar!!!
It’s over to General Mattis! I pray he decides to end this NOW!
In their defense... they're just doing their jobs, like everybody else. The people responsible for this even being a case are all in the media. Had the media not been rooting for the enemy and making waves about this non-event, it wouldn't have gotten the attention it got.
Injustices sometimes happen in all courts, but frankly, if I'm innocent of a crime and being tried for it, I would much rather be in a military court than a civilian one. If I'm guilty I'd rather be in a civilian court. On the whole I think the people in the military justice system have a lot to be proud of. Both on the defense and the prosecution sides of the room. They're good at finding actual justice.
Hopefully, it'll work out well for these Marines. I sure hope so.
