WOW!
Joining you in prayers for SSgt Wuterich, his family, and his defense attorneys!
Go get ‘em, Atty’s Puckett and Faraj!
Red, do you know whether Mendoza will retake the stand, or is he done?
BUMP to your post. Thanks for the thread.
lol, thanks, Lancey. I saw that as soon as I posted my question. Smooth and I must have been cross-posting.
I am PRAYING Mendoza gets called back to the stand! It was just getting interesting!
Why is this relegated to Blogs? This is News/Activism and belongs in extended news on the sidebar.

Well, it sort of made sense early this morning but I’m having a hard thinking why! I’ll change it on DOM.
Yes, this is wonderful news. There needs to be five of the eight jurists voting guilty for a conviction on any change. Can’t believe that could happen. Pray it’s a unanimous exoneration.
Maybe Defend Our Marines is not recognized as a news source? After all the stories we’ve broken, I hope that’s not the case.
Yes, it has gotten to the point where any conviction for anything would leave a very suspicious stench. And thanks for the info about how the jury (panel) works. I was wondering about that. Five of eight Marine combat veterans voting for a conviction on something in this case? Can't see it.
Yes, they need 2/3rds of the panel for conviction—which is why it can be an even number such as eight.
The Mods know a respected news source when they see it!
We’re on the sidebar in Extended News now.
Thanks Y’All!!! :o)
With a panel of 8, 6 must vote to convict. 5 wouldn’t be enough, it’s short of 2/3rds. That makes it that much tougher for the prosecution!
Two-thirds of 8 is 5.3 so I rounded down to 5. It didn’t occur to me that it was short of 2/3rds.
You’re right, smooth. Six is harder so I like that better!
Seems to me that SSgt. Frank D. Wuterich has a few things on his side, things that are sadly lacking in those who are out to get him.
Honor
Courage
Commitment
I most heartily agree.
Amen, Pop.
We hoped SSGT Wuterich would make this direction his choice, and now we pray he is exonerated.
