"Just lie in general," Dela Cruz responded.LIE IN GENERAL??? Sounds like a line from a sitcom. Wonder how Ware could keep a straight face.

Additional info on Dela Cruz's testimony from your Washington Post link:
[snip] Dela Cruz testified against Wuterich and another Marine after his own charges were dismissed in exchange for immunity from prosecution. He insisted that after giving at least two false statements to investigators -- and contesting portions of others -- he was finally telling the truth.
[snip] The damaging content of Dela Cruz's testimony was tempered by his demeanor: He appeared wooden on the stand and often took long moments to produce answers to apparently simple questions.
[snip] "Was it your understanding that if you shot a dead body you could be charged with murder?" asked Lt. Col. Paul Ware, who will recommend whether Wuterich should face court-martial.
"Yes, sir," Dela Cruz said.
"Why?" Ware asked, then quickly shook his head. "Never mind."
LOL! It even sounds like the judge was giving up at this point. Actually I feel sorry for Dela Cruz. But not to the point that he should send another Marine away for murder if he is not telling the truth.
