See his bio above. He served as a Marine artillery officer in Vietnam.Interesting. I once had a CO who was also a Marine artillery officer in Vietnam.
His name was Major Tom McCarthy.

I’d pay to watch Murtha deposed.

Whoa... I just read Jack Zimmerman’s bio and it sounds to me like JAG is way overmatched here. Mr. Zimmerman may be a little uncomfortable about this case, though - - it is said that, “There is no client as scary as an innocent man”. I am pretty sure that Jack Zimmerman will give this case everything he’s got, and more. For Mr. Zimmerman and his client, there is no verdict except “Not guilty”.
To: RedRover
Jack Zimmermann, an attorney for Lance Cpl. Stephen B. Tatum, told judge Lt. Col. Eugene Robinson that he also wants a deposition from Gen. Michael Hagee, former commandant of the Marine Corps now retired, to find out what he may have said to Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., and to Marines serving in Iraq.Excellent. Thanks for the PING, Red!

Every time I see these screen shots of Murtha projecting his bile, I just want to throw something at my monitor.
But I won’t. ;^)

To: RedRover
Many thanks again Red for thinking of us. I guess it will probably be another year, or more, before we can say we had a holiday we could enjoy. We appreciate all you have done and continue to do for us. Please, everyone, keep us all in your prayers. The going is tough! Hope Murtha rots in hell for all the anguish he has caused.

>Prosecutor Maj. Daren Erickson asked the judge to allow prosecutors to travel to Iraq to obtain depositions from some witnesses to the killings, including several children.<
How’s that for a little nugget of stink? This legal eagle wants to gather more disinformation straight from the mouths that have already changed their stories numerous times.
Yeah, real good thinking among the JAGoffs. Lets go ask the enemy what they’d prefer our version of reality be in regards to these Marines.
What is it with these morons?
The herd needs culling, desperately.

Good for Jack Zimmerman. Keep reminding the public why this case became so public and political.
I agree, Cicero, the point about the Iraqi witnesses is interesting. If the Iraqis refuse autopsies and refuse to come to the US to testify, the prosecution's case is much weaker. This Marine deserves to face his accusers, especially in light of facing 19 years in the brig. On top of that, it has never been established who was responsible for whose deaths that day.
That is probably why LCpl Tatum's original charges of negligent homicide and aggravated assault against
specific individuals were reduced to aggravated assault and reckless endangerment of unarmed men, women, and children
in general. Preferred Charges and Specifications He still has charges of involuntary manslaughter of two
specific Iraqi individuals. For that reason alone, he deserves to face his accusers and have a cross examination in court.

Good evening if anyone is still awake... I was talking to with the campaign manager for the fellow running against Murtha in the 12th Congressional District in PA... a fellow named Larry Stiles - Murtha’s opponent is a gentleman named William Russell, a Reserve Army Lt Col and two - deployment veteran to the Gulf. He says there are about 50,000 veterans in Murtha’s Congressional District of 650,000 + residents and they are so incensed by his name calling - a central issue with his opponent who doesn’t have too much else to run on - that that it caused Murtha to flip-flop on the surge issue - was bad policy/now good policy hoping to regain some traction. The race is considered so vital by the republicans they are sending help from the Republican central Committee to unseat Murtha because they think the veterans make him so vulnerable... just thought it might be something nobody has heard... I didn’t know any of it anyway.

Murtha can’t be deposed if his head is on a pike anchored to the west capitol steps.

Yes. Sometimes I wonder which is worse, a far out moonbat or a corrupt pork guzzler.
No problem with Murtha, since he combines both under one hat.

This all should be a no brainer at this point. What Blurtha said or did not say should not enter the equation. All the facts where brought out in tiny detail as how our Marines followed their ROE. It is beyond me why any of these Haditha Marines are still under the gun. Mattis should have made a blank drop all cases due to tainted and misleading evidence.
Of course I would love to see Blurtha hung out to dry.
