So this 1st Sgt. Albert Espinosa thought an investigation should have been done because he was involved with an investigation in 2003 when a 12 year old Iraqi girl was killed. His experience was such, that when one civilian was killed, an investigation happened. I assume the platoon members would have a hodge-podge of backgrounds - various time frames in Iraq, various regions, various experiences. I'm also assuming he was called by the prosecution.
From the article, Gittins also said a regimental commander had determined that the civilians deaths were "collateral damage" and that no investigation was necessary. The defense attorney's statement.... went unchallenged by prosecutors.
This would have been a reference to Huck's assistant, regimental commander Col. R. Gary Sokoloski, who allegedely approved the rewording of the incident for the press release, and has now refused to testify.
