Causing an Act – in this case multiple murder – by two junior Marines under his command

How can they prosecute this if these men have not been convicted of doing anything wrong? If Nazario were found guilty of these, and then these men were exhonerated, wouldn't they have to vacate the conviction???

But this is the prosecutors' old game of piling on charges in the hopes that something will stick.

At the core of all this is that they returned to the house where this supposedly happened and there is zero evidence, there is no one complaining, no bodies, no identities, no blood, no nothing. The corporals who talked about this are described as suffering from PTSD, drug abuse, recantation of their stories, prone to embellishment, etc.

Honestly, how can you convict a man of getting others to do something when you haven't proven that the others actually did the alleged something?

SOS every time. Pile up the charges no matter how rediculous or unrelated they may be in the hopes that the defense will fold/plead, and these ambulance chasing weekend warriors can brag to their hunting partners about the Marine they just bagged.

No Honor Amongst Thieves Or Attorneys!

Remember Scooter Libby? The "Obstruction of Justice" charge? When he "committed" this crime, Fitz already knew Richard Armitage had released the info about Plame. "Facts" are unimportant to Progressives with an agenda.
