“The government is represented by veteran prosecutors Maj. Nicholas Gannon assisted by LtCol. Sean Sullivan, well known during the early pre-trial investigations for his fiery temper and forceful court room manner.”

Thanks. I somehow missed that.
It is interesting that the #2 seat outranks the lead prosecutor for this trial.

My favorite quote from Nat's Friday report:

“I can’t think of a single witness desiring of being helpful to the government,” complained chief prosecutor Major Nicholas Gannon at the conclusion the tedious two-day voir dire proceeding.

That Gannon quote is a hoot. My first thought when I saw it was “Gee, I wonder where he got that idea.”

Nat said that's how the legal system works and likened it to his days in Nam when a chopper pilot would be a Warrant Officer and a higher ranking co-pilot would treat him as the commander of the craft once the engine came on.
