I agree with you that the best result would be a victory in court. However, these prosecutors are doing all they can to manipulate this case UNTIL they can convict this Marine.

Being TOLD to drop the charges because of prosecutorial misconduct would be great; so would being told that they had drug their feet so long that the trial now has the appearance of manipulative injustice.

Then there’s the whole situation of the toll in life, family, aspirations that these 6 long years have exacted on this good man and his loved ones. He has been passed over for promotion every year because of this, and he would have been a minimum of one rank higher and very likely 2 times in six years during war.

They owe him so much.

The only political relief I see would be the election of Sarah Palin. Of all the politicians on the horizon, she is the one who has the guts to step into this and say, “Stop this shit. Stop it now!” She doesn’t CARE what the press thinks.

I believe most here do consider the element of his poor family having to go through so much as well as he. I still have an image someone posted about a year back of the Sarge with is little girl in her bedroom with sunlight streaming in an open window. The horrors his wife has had to go through.
In particular your statement "They owe him so much.", stands true.
