Yep, we can bet the prosecution will try to downplay it but the defense team is good and I’m betting they’ll prevail.
My hope is they can get a bunch of COMBAT Officers on the panel. If he gets a bunch of career-minded desk-jockeys they might look at the expense of this operation, and the huge amount of failure in previous prosecutions and opt for some kind of conviction. Be interesting to see what kind of lesser included's are given to the jury.
I mean if they can prove Wuterich's bootlace was untied and tell the jury they can find him guilty of being out of uniform, my fear is they'll JUMP at it.
