The witness, Special Operator First Class Corey Scott, a SEAL medic who was given immunity from prosecution by the Navy, stunned prosecutors by testifying that he, and not Chief Gallagher, had killed the captive, by covering a breathing tube inserted in the captive’s neck. His testimony also deviated in other significant ways from what he had told investigators before trial; the Navy has indicated it is considering charging him with perjury.
That's crazy. Let me tell you these guys aren't the kind you want to be enemies with. I'm sure a lot was said or threatened.
The courts failed, murderers are walking free. When I think of my friend who died in Iraq, I am angered that these piles of human detritus walk around smugly. The fact that they would desecrate the body of a deceased child speaks volumes.It is not a good idea to decide that your judgment is better than the court's. Watch out for self-righteous hubris. Also, don't let the media bias you.
Why did this sicken you? Isn't it normal to rush to defend the people you respect? Especially before you know the evidence.We had one of these cases in Britain, and there was the same sickening rush of people trying to defend the guy, even though the military themselves and fellow soldiers had roundly condemned him for disgracing the uniform.

Do normal people doing normal things usually sicken you?
Hopefully, you are just a sickened when people rush to condemn.
Are you forgotting according to the defence all the testifying marine were snowflake millennials, so their words are worthless.If a soldier does something bad enough to have their own military commanders and fellow soldiers denouncing them as a disgrace to the oaths they take and the militaries own moral codes, then yes I am sickened by people who disregard all that and leap to the assumption that because they're a soldier (and the person they callously murdered was foreign) that they must be unjustly accused and a hero.
So no it's not normal to disregard all the evidence and defend war criminals.
The thing is the rights portrayal of him as an American hero. If your picture if s hero is someone who is a murderous scumbag, as testified to to by members of his own seal team, or someone whos leadership is so abysmal that he unable to command loyalty in an institution that is built on it.I did not think it was such a secret to people that the prosecution must prove the guilt of the defendant. If that does not happen the defendant is presumed innocent. I cannot find it in me to be upset that the system worked as it was designed to work. Outside of authoritarian circles, It has always been considered better for a few guilty people to go free than for innocent people to be punished for something they did not do. Unfortunately it seem there is a growing preference for authoritarianism including the attitude that the accused must prove their innocence.
