Will other Marines rally with them and will they stand up to their Commander in Chief?

Nazario's federal court jury was made up of civilians, who said after the verdict that civilians should not be asked to second-guess actions taken by Marines or soldiers in combat. Weemer's jury was made up of Marines who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan; no reason was given for their decision.

This KABC conclusion at the end of their article is pretty weak. Weemer's jury did not operate in a vacuum, and the reports are available. Tony Perry must not be a reader/researcher type of reporter.

Weemer's jury found it hard to convict a guy who said that, while in the middle of the worst house-to-house conflict in generations, a terrorist attacked him, and they had only his word to go on versus an NCIS detective who had no evidence whatsoever.

I know it's hard for reporters to keep up, Red, but they could easily surf on over to "Defend Our Marines", couldn't they?
