The scumbag got off easy if you ask me.
...his father was charged with murdering patients he cared for as a nurse.
Robert Rubane Diaz was convicted in 1984 of 12 counts of murder and is on death row in California.
Ah, so betrayal is a family thing.
I do hope that the scumbag loses his law license.
Ouch! Ouch! My wrist hurts so bad!
He should be hanged.
This is at least a career death sentence. He won’t be able to practice law anywhere.
I suppose the silver lining in all of this is that he did not choose a career in nursing.
(Sarcasm)
Even though the sentence, at this point, is only six months confinement and dismissal from the service (officer equivalent of a BCD), it still is a felony conviction. Hard to see him being admitted to the bar (except maybe in leftist states like California, Massachusetts, and New York).
You are right; he got off light. Very light.
Reading the article it sounds like he can still face up to 14 years on the three other convictions, is that correct? Also, it does not state that directly but I am sure his dismissal from the military is a bad conduct discharge / dishonorable and he will lose all military retirement and benefits.
So, he dropped out of high school and had a tough unbringing. blah. blah. blah.
The guy is a freaking lawyer and Lt Commander!!! He isn’t some victim! He isn’t somebody to feel sorry for!
He intentionally broke the law by turning over information to our enemies (socialist anti-american lawyers who work for al qaeda). He didn’t just violation procedural rules. He arguably committed treason considering who he was colluding with and what they would obviously do with the information to harm our national security. There are plenty of traitor in Congress he could have gone to like Baghdad Jim McDermott or John Murtha which would have been more defensible than going to terrorist lawyers.
I see that apple didn't fall far from the tree.
skin his azz alive... then set him on FIRE!!!She turned the list over to authorities, starting an investigation that led to Diaz.
Does this mean the lawyer for the Commies didn't release the names to the four winds, but actually obeyed national security rules and gave the info back to the government?
I'm almost impressed. (Maybe she was afraid of going to jail herself.)
He should have faced a firing squad.
A real piece of work aint he? More like piece of excrement.
I, too, had a difficult childhood what with divorce of my parents. Say that my mother were an axe murderer, to top it off. So, if I were to get drunk and get in a car and kill 10 people on the Interstate, then I should be spared a jail sentence?
Maybe these lawyers who plead, "Oh he/she/it had a difficult childhood" may have an impact on civilian juries but as it appears here, not on military juries.
Buh-bye, you sick scumbag, Diaz. Enjoy your six-month wristslap.
Unfortunately, President Bush has apparently left the Iraq war in the hands of scumbag ACLU lawyers just like this one. Witness the Haditha travesty, among many others. There’s thirteen “rules of engagement” and our soldiers and Marines are a little nervous about pulling the trigger in a war where a nano-second of hesitation can cost you your life.
It’s a friggin disgrace. And now we see this scumbag Diaz getting a wristslap.
Surprise, surprise.
