I read this stuff and just don’t get it. Maybe I could get a lobotomy and then I could think like a prosecutor.

Thanks for the ping.

This Sullivan sounds like a real piece of work. I pray Sgt. Wuterich’s attorneys prevail.

[PubliusMM]

A damnable witch hunt. Seeking to assuage the feelings and justify the vitriole of the leftist DhimmiRats who are bound and determined to leave unfinished the war on terror. And, that, my friends will an error in judgment of mammoth proportions, if we allow it to happen.

SSgt Wuterich should be exonerated. Charges should never have been brought, IMO. And, to have as a prosecutor an attorney without criminal trial experience is, in itself, criminal. This is immoral, unethical, and should be halted immediately.

They have to either block Dinsmore’s testimony, or clearly impeach him as a witness, or the whole case against the Haditha marines collapses.

In my opinion there never was a case. For trying to block Dinsmore’s testimony which clearly would tend to exonerate the soldiers, you have to wonder why Sullivan isn’t drummed out of the Corps.

“He was incredulous that I would doubt his willingness to do that. I pled with him to do so. He made a point of giving me his word as an honorable man and as a Marine that he would lay open all information

“Sullivan, who is prosecuting Wuterich, may eventually face some heat of his own for how and why star prosecution witness [Lance Cpl.] Humberto Mendoza managed to get transferred to Sullivan’s Chicago-based reserve unit as a driver after he was granted immunity.

“The defense also wants to know if Sullivan intervened in making [non-U.S. citizen] Mendoza’s immigration problems disappear.

This Sullivan really smells, IMO!

Stay strong Frank

[pissant]

God willing, this man will be exonerated!!!

The following pages are from LtCol Jeffrey Chessani's art 32 hearing. The testimony in these pages is from Capt. Jeffrey Dinsmore's testimony before the board. READ THIS CLOSELY: There is direct testimony that the Syrians were involved in the attack on the U.S. Marines that day and that the type of attack was predicted through intelligence gathering. Also note the death of a Recon Marine previous to the Haditha event which was passed on to units on the line as to what they should expect in the manner of attack in Haditha.

Pay attention to pages 31 and 46

Well, we sure know who the "dirty boot" Marine is........

Sullivan, a reserve Marine officer with no combat experience, is a Chicago lawyer who specializes in patent and trademark law, according to his law firm’s Internet site.

“Sullivan, who is prosecuting Wuterich, may eventually face some heat of his own for how and why star prosecution witness [Lance Cpl.] Humberto Mendoza managed to get transferred to Sullivan’s Chicago-based reserve unit as a driver after he was granted immunity. “The defense also wants to know if Sullivan intervened in making [non-U.S. citizen] Mendoza’s immigration problems disappear. “And finally, the defense wants to know if Mendoza’s lawyers allowed their client to be interviewed by prosecutors hunting for a ‘perfect witness’ before they decided to grant him immunity and provide him the alleged benefits of serving in Chicago instead of staying at Camp Pendleton where he was easily accessible.”

Dirty Boot?

Shit bird is more apt.

[ODC-GIRL]

It seems the prosecution will stop at nothing to get their sacrificial lamb.

[smoothsailing]

You're right, Race, I just couldn't remember the word shitbird as it applies to a Marine. I'm old Army so dirty boot was the next best thing. Either way, this Sullivan shouldn't be anywhere hear Frank's case.

“He [Sullivan] was incredulous that I would doubt his willingness to do that. I pled with him to do so. He made a point of giving me his word as an honorable man and as a Marine that he would lay open all information, and if he found information that could potentially exonerate these Marines, he would personally take it to the convening authority and ensure it was seen.

Sounds like Sullivan isn't keeping his word as an honorable man or a Marine. Wasn't this information from Maj. Dinsmore part of the Article 32?

The enemy is laughing.

[Nam Vet]

I say we take this prosecutor and string him up by the 'short and curlys'.

It would have to be the “short and curlys”. There ain’t nothing else there to tie a string to.
