If any mistakes were made, they'd have to be overlooked by many people in a few different sections. Mistakes were not made by anyone above SSgt Wuterich, who was responsible for the action itself. Of course filing false reports doesn't equate to having committed some other crime. Whatever other evidence the prosecution has applies also. The total is why they made the charges.
"I doubt we're going to change each other's minds on presumption of guilt or innocence at this point. I'll presume they are innocent. You can choose for yourself."
This isn't court, I'm not the prosecutor, and I'm not attempting to convict. I'm commenting on the story. I originally commented on the Lt Col's defense atty's comment that this all resulted from ROE problems. None of it does, especially the predicament his client's in. His client's in the hot seat, because he failed to do his duty.
Finally, we come full circle back to ROE's. I stated my thoughts on that earlier. :-)
