So the real facts are this dirtbag was interrogating a prisoner and then he threatened to kill him if he didn’t tell the truth. A fellow soldier witnessed the dirtbag then straddle the victim, point a gun at his head and shoot him and then state “ I killed him. He lied”.
In other words he murdered the prisoner. He was convicted on the statement of one of his own fellow soldiers. His story about the prisoner trying to get a gun was totally false according to the witnesses.
Iike I said never believe dirtbag Jim Hoft or anything from gateway pundit.
Notice how many ignorant fools here immediately jump to the wrong conclusion based solely on a hoft story. By the way did the fake hoft story cover any of the facts? No.
The testimony said that Mohammed claimed to be working with Americans to fix water pumps. He then changed his story to say he needed to do electrical work.
Miller became suspicious and told Charles Miller and an interpreter to join him so he could question Mohammed near a latrine. Miller asked to borrow Charles Miller's 9-mm pistol before the questioning began.
As the interrogation went on, Miller became bothered with Mohammed's answers and pointed the gun at his head.
"I said, 'Look, if you don't tell me the truth, I'm going to kill you.' I was just using it as a scare tactic," Derrick Miller testified.
Miller said he shot the prisoner after he grabbed for the gun.
Charles Miller said he interpreted the incident differently.
He said Mohammed tried to create distance by pushing on Derrick Miller's chest.
"I never saw the man grab Sgt. Miller's weapon but he did try to create space between them by putting a hand towards his chest, however, he never created space between them," Charles Miller said. "Sgt. Miller then put the gun to the man's head and pulled the trigger. About 30 seconds went by between the time (he) tried to create space and when Sgt. Miller pulled the trigger."
Bravo! Wish there was more of this.
Had this soldier been back in the US and so much as looked at a cop wrong he’d been shot dead.
He felt threatened he felt betrayed he felt like somebody was walking down their positions he was suspicious. He had experience, he used it. That’s all that happened. Nothing more than a NJP case.
You are completely misinformed. This case has been thoroughly researched and vetted by dozens of lawyers and activists for the past seven years. I personally have spent many hours in research and in communication with freepers who have attended his hearings and listened to testimony. Where did you read your version, on the Internet?
Have you never heard of fragging, or of troops telling lies about their officers to get revenge for having been disciplined for some petty infractions? Derrick was lied about by some "witnesses" but completely supported by others. Do you seriously think a Congressman as prominent and well-known as Louie Gohmert, a former JAG officer, would have defended Miller without researching the facts?
And your claims are based on what? Were you there?
