One of these days, after the next revolution, it will be the law that the defense has access to as much money as the government prosecuting them. The government should provide to the defenses a check every week for what the government has spent in the preceding week.

There have been to many innocent people railroaded because they don’t have the money to defend themselves and why should their money be used to defend themselves. Until convicted, it should not cost them a thing.

Nat Helms has a definitive grasp of the realities that all the Haditha Marines have endured. This should be printed as the headline on all major newspapers and news magazines:

The subsequent investigation showed
that none of the circumstances cited
by Time and Murtha proved to be true.

I know -- fat chance !!

One member of Chessani’s defense team noted that government prosecutors have already shown they will go to any length to obtain a conviction in the broadest, most expensive criminal investigation in contemporary military history.

His exoneration followed a 30-month, multi-million dollar, world-wide investigation and five-day court-martial at Camp Pendleton ...

So much for that "speedy trial" thingy. But after totally negating the "innocent until proven guilty" thingy it probably seemed negligible to these b.b.b...cretins!

So, as one of the taxpayers that the government stole the money from for this multi-million dollar fiasco, I demand they refund my money via the exonerated Marines and Murtha should be ordered to reimburse each and every one of these Haditha Marines for their defense bills.
