"Everybody agrees that this was the triggering event," Paul Hackett, an attorney for a Marine officer with a slight connection to the case, told the paper.
What is it with attorneys blabbing to the press these days? Unless this Marine officer gave consent for him to comment to the evil press he should keep his mouth shut and focus on the best possible defense for this young man.
Attorney Paul Hackett in civilian life ran against Jean Schmidt in district near Cincinnati and then went for Senate until, Sherood Brown beat him to oppose Mike Dewine. Hackett claims his own party sabotaged him. Some Dem party activists agreed, saying he is a loose cannon and shoots from the hip. Looks like we are in for a polital mess with former Marine Murtha calling them cold blooded killers and former Marine officer Hackett "defending them" on the case.
