To be fair, they did take out a SSgt in the Army, also, SSgt Ray Girouard

I don’t have the specifics to post, needless to say, he didn’t do it either.

Don’t forget, there’s bigheadfred’s nephew, Army Sgt. Evan Vela Carnahan, too.

Interesting. Did the defense attorneys present the scenario that the autopsied man’s wounds (other than the face) were more consistent with a man running from gunfire? If not, why not?

Also, at this point wouldn’t it make sense for Sgt. Hutchins or Cpl. Thomas give an account of all the details that occurred that night. If there were orders why not name names? What do they have to lose?

Here is the latest opinion from Diana West about Sgt. Evan Vela.

Thanks for the good link. I was trying to find the article. Great writeup by Diana West! Has there been a thread on this article?

[bigheadfred]

No thread on this latest article. Must be your turn to post one.

I’ve had all I can take. I’m goin’ fishin’. :-)

I don't know, girl, as 5 of 8 took a plea arraignment.

But you prompted me to think, and of course, I had to take some aspirin as a result. I know I don't have all the information, I'm looking at the dates and attorneys. I'm not quite sure what it is that I'm looking for, though.

I wanna say, BAM! She’s cookin’!

The autopsy was not allowed into testimony, at all

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

Thanks, freema. Sgt. Hutchins is the only Marine left in confinement. He knows what happened that night. I wonder if he's considered putting together the story based on his understanding of the events that lead to the death of whoever this Iraqi was.
