We know these guys just didn’t pick “a man on the street”. Since the jury wasn’t allowed to know who this “poor, crippled grandfater and former saddam policeman” was, will it be grounds for appeal?

It’s about time a real soldier steps in and takes care of these Marines. I’m sure command up line are horrified at what NCIS are doing to our warriors.

I served under the General when he was a Major; I just knew he’d do the right thing.

Mattis is considering whether to cut short the prison terms for Pennington and Hutchins, Marine spokesman Lt. Col. Sean Gibson said Tuesday.
As a reminder, the North County Times put out a poll with the question, "Do you support the murder conviction of squad leader Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins in the Hamdania case?" just after his conviction. Final Results were:
Yes 37 Votes(14%)
No, too strong 219 Votes(84%)
No, too lenient 6 Votes(2%)
So....I'm not suggesting Lt. Gen. Mattis do what's popular, but he wouldn't be "unpopular" if he reduced Hutchin's sentence. (Pennington, too!)

Can the General commute the sentences of Ramos and Campeon? ... a few steps higher can.

IIRC, Gen. Mattis is the one who said a few years ago that it feels good to beat up some terrorist guy who’s been beating on women and children. The left had its usual hissy fit, and I thought it was great. He’s my hero.

Mattis is considering whether to cut short the prison terms for Pennington and Hutchins, Marine spokesman Lt. Col. Sean Gibson said Tuesday. Release them today.

From the North County Times
Mattis frees junior Marines
...Mattis, who can shorten sentences but not increase them, freed Pvts. Jerry Shumate Jr., 21, and Tyler Jackson, 23, out of a sense of fairness, a military spokesman said Tuesday...
Whatever it takes. He is also considering shaving time off Hutchins and Pennington's sentences.
...The family of the 23-year-old Massachusetts native [Sgt Hutchins family]
could not be reached for comment, but Brannon said Monday that they were meeting with Mattis to lobby for leniency.
Pennington's attorney, Carlsbad-based retired Brig. Gen. David Brahms, also declined comment Tuesday about efforts to have him freed early.
Pennington's mother said her family is "cautiously hopeful" his sentenced will be slashed.
"We have been praying for this for a long time," Deanna Pennington said....26 posted on
