Re the mercey killing case, the article implies the person was pinned in he wreckage, not that he was actually dying of wounds. To me it is more likely he was being saved from being painfully burned to death and there was no way to extract him from the wreckage.
I think it is interesting the the Lt. Col. name is not listed and only the defense ttorney name is included.
Yes but did the evidence support such scenario? That is why we have trials.
