Sharratt-Murtha ping!
I’d like to spit on the author/editor who decided to put “justice” in quotation marks.
I fear murtha’s mouth has immunity .
The family has phoned Murtha's office about 50 times, and Sharratt's father, Darryl, spoke to the congressman once.
In spite of Murtha's arrogance this shows what a coward he is.
To be added to the Murtha Watch ping list please notify myself or RedRover.
The Department of Defense distanced itself from [Murtha's] comments, and Geary bluntly said Thursday that he thinks Murtha made the story up.
Geary expects Murtha will attempt to dismiss the lawsuit by saying he was acting in the scope of his duty as a government employee.IANAL, but I'd suspect that by making that particular claim, Murtha would be admitting to exerting "command influence" over Sharratt's UCMJ proceedings. Since all military appropriations are controlled by Congress, an argument could possibly be made in that regard.
Freeper lawyers - any thoughts on this?
WTF? Sharratt couldn't start any suit until his case slowly worked it's way through the justice system and he was cleared, which was recently. So that's the timing issue. Things would have worked out better for Murtha if the case kept going on until after the election but that's life. Maybe Murtha should have thrown more mud because that helped drag the case out as long as it did.
I wish reporters would at least try and pretend to work on a story.
Jury Duty, Criminal case.
I was packed, I mean “packed” in an elevator in the Baltimore City Court House yesterday,
Just as the door tried to close, a 280+ pound African American politician with a large briefcase, forced the doors back, and compressed all of us like sardines. “I work here everyday...sorry “.
At that moment I thought of that knucklehead, Murtha.
After the elevator rose just one, i say again....one floor, he got off allowing everyone to exhale. All of the derogatory comments that followed came from the predominately black occupants.
The defense attorney, in keeping with stacking the jury with African Americans, without looking at me, requested that I be excused. Was it because I was the only male in the jury pool who was wearing a tie?
Was it my zip code, college education?
I guess I am some people's worst night mare...A white, blue eyed,college educated,Christian,Republican, straight,male,Viet Nam Vet. A true Monster.....talk about a Baltimore minority.
And a branch campus of the University of Pittsburgh just awarded Murtha their First-Ever Distinguished Alumni Award. *vomit*

The lawsuit claims Murtha violated Sharratt’s constitutional rights to presumption of innocence and due process of law. Sure looks to be an obvious win! Would be great to see both marines collect a summary judgment of, say, about $5,000,000 or so from the ex-Marine congress critter!
Justice WILL prevail!
Any word on what’s happening with this case lately?
>> people who see him on the street have called him a “baby killer” or accused him of “slaughtering people.
This kind of crap really ticks me off
