What a crooked bunch of A-holes.
Ok...Just makes you wonder why Col Folsom did not dismiss the charges against Lt Col Chessani WITH prejudice so the government could not reopen it’s case against LC Chessani ?...He made a half baked ruling in that case when he could have closed it and sealed it shut..
Secondly why shouldnt the burden of proof NOT be on the prosecution to prove there was undue command influence when they have all the records, the notes, memos of the conversations, remembrances,etc...The defense has nothing at hand except whatever they can beg borrow or scrape up...The Defense has no burden of proof to prove their man is innocent..It’s the other way around: the Government has to prove he is guilty, and they have to do it fairly as possible as officers of the Court...They are trying to re-prosecute an innocent man and that is a disgrace to the Marine Corps judicial system...Are they that indebted to SecDef Winters and to John Murtha?...If they are, they should resign now, for the good of the Corps...
