All the text with the photos above (minus my comments in italics) is verbatim from the hearing transcript.

This is the first time that any portion of the LCpl Sharratt hearing transcripts has been made available. I hope to have more soon.

What’s Platt’s personal relationship with John Murtha?

Why does he look like inspector Clouseau?

Excellent post!

Nailed it, SA Platt is a real life Inspector Clouseau and to think the NCIS affect so many in our military.

Dang Red after reading that transcript, I think Barney Fife would have been a better choice than Clouseau. That was plum pitiful and an embarrassment to investigators every where. I sincerely hope this “investigator” is now investigating parking violations or the like.

BTW - his statement about “murder” was entirely too explicit to have just been a misspoken word. That phrase “right before their eyes” is telling indeed.

LOL, that is an excellent graphic!
I would trust Clouseau way before I would trust NCIS.

Good grief! This reads like a bad movie script.

These people were in charge of investigating allegations against United States Marines??

What the heck?!

Amazing how SPlatt can remember every tiny detail the Iraqi sisters told him, can positively ID 5.56mm and 9mm bullets that have SPlatted into concrete wall (S) with zero ballistics training and remembers almost nothing else about anything that had to do with the investigation.

All through the testimony, SPlatt claims he doesn't discuss any of the interview with case agent Mannle, in fact, on minute 175, testifies that he went to the house with SA's Brady & Maloney - no word of Mannle, and I got the impression he never spoke to her again.

But then, in minute 192, it's revealed that Mannle was in the living room of the same house at the same time SPlatt was digging out shell fragments in the bedroom and listening to a "narrative".

Yet, he and Mannle never talked about the case again.

Right. I think the prosecution just slam dunked one...in their own goal.
