Atty. Law did not go to Fallujah to look at forensics. The judge just appointed an expert witness for Sgt. Nelson's defense to review any forensics that the prosecutors had from THEIR investigation. From Nazario's trial, the prosecution only showed pictures of the house and had witness testimony about the alleged events. They never presented any forensics. In fact, one of Nazarios' atty's, Kevin B. McDermott, made this point during his trial:

The paucity of evidence NCIS investigators found there was seized upon by McDermott as an example of the government’s specious prosecution.

“The evidence falls short of proving the facts of the case,” he said. “The government took the effort to take pictures, why not send in a forensic team to take evidence. Give us some physical evidence. You could and should have the opportunity to get some evidence – where is it?”

4woodenboats made an excellent point in that thread, that the prosecution probably DID try to collect forensics from that house, but didn't present any during the trial because it was "Clean". Well what do you know, it appears 4wb's instincts were right! From the article above,

Nelson's attorney Joseph Low was successful in getting Meeks to approve the appointment of an expert witness for the defense who will review forensic data collected by investigators from the home where the slayings are said to have occurred.

Hopefully this expert witness will prove there are no forensics that back up the prosecution's claims. If they have no bodies and no forensics, all that's left, again, is witness testimony. That testimony is pretty suspect when Sgt Nelson was looking at life in prison if he didn't help the prosecutors convict Nazario.

There'll be a report, even if it shows there were no killings. Nobody goes all the way to falluja just to take a picture of a front door.

And if fox claims otherwise, it's time for him to take the stand, along with anyone under his command.

And for background effects while he's trying to weasel out of the fact he's railroading innocent men, bring in that turkey bleeder that they used during the Palin interview, along with a truck full of turkeys, and a couple of those big funnels.

Who could lie when there's turkeys gurgling and jerking next to them? I bet one of his team would squeal like a pig in a sausage shop.
