Gasper had recently returned from Iraq and was enjoying a night out with friends, testified April M. Rackard, a friend who was with Gasper during much of the day and night.
Rackard and Gasper were with several other people at the Duck-In, the Smokehouse and Cooler, Rackard testified. At Cooler, the group bumped into Jondahl.
Eventually, Gasper left the group. Broccoletti said Gasper continued bar-hopping on his own. One server testified that she saw Gasper that night wearing a T-shirt with the inscription "All women are whores."
Broccoletti said Gasper called a cab later that evening and saw Jondahl was drunk and having trouble walking. He said Gasper offered to take Jondahl with him, a tradition among SEALs on drinking binges.
A cab driver testified that he took both men to Gasper's home and neither seemed overly intoxicated or angry with each other.
Later, police found Jondahl on the floor of the garage with a bullet wound to the abdomen.
Police Sgt. John J. Kozlowski said Gapser told him that the two SEALs had retired to his house after a night of drinking and that Jondahl was acting up, "so I shot him."
