It is a little hard to believe that you do not have the mental capacity to even think about your own examples. If you got drunk and you were angy about something a kid in the neighborhood had done to your house and you ran over him intending to kill him... you would be serious of a much more serious crime... Can you understand that? I doubt it seriously, but most people with common sense can.
Seriously sorry about the serious typos in my last serious message. LOL!
Then I guess it's pointless to ask you to explain it.
Why Lakin did what he did is one thing. Whether or not he committed the crime is another. His motivation can be pure as the driven snow but at the end of the day if the prosecution proves he refused to obey the orders of his superior officers and he missed movement then he's going to be convicted.
