Oh, I see; an armchair prosecutor. Where is you evidence that the witness who claimed he straddled the spy was actually telling the truth? In fact, where is your citation for this claim? And what if he did, when they were struggling for the gun? Was the origin of this claim the Afghani who changed his testimony to get a green card, or one of the other soldiers who were threatened by the prosecutors, as Gohmert mentioned, to change their testimony?
Were you there? Were you an eyewitness, or can you produce a credible eyewitness? Or are you just wanting bragging rights here on FR for your dramatic take-down over the Internet of what all the real lawyers and analysts to the actual case, the actual records, the actual testimony and the witnesses have said? Are you aware that some of the coerced men from his unit came forward later and recanted?
Had Gohmert gone into the details of the case on a mass-market radio show, the audience would have tuned out. He fitted his remarks to the audience. You have just now claimed to be a lawyer, so I have not addressed you in those terms heretofore. Are you an Army lawyer, or any kind of military lawyer? Come on, trot out your creds, which I already doubt, since you called this soldier a “dirtbag” from the jump, and the rest of us in support of him “ignorant fools.” Where did you go to law school, pray tell? Where did you find your records of this case, and what are the citations so that the rest of us may see your evidence?
I hardly think a 35 year career prosecutor qualifies as armchair. That includes 15 years as an Army Jag officer defending soldiers accused of crimes.
Were done here.
