I was unaware that SSgt Wuterich’s attorney's had presented a plea deal twice in the two years prior to this CM.

I was aware of Lt. Col. Ware's finding and comments at the close of the Article 32 hearing and could not understand why he recommended the case proceeding to CM other than the fact he'd gotten word from the CA to proceed, it was evident these prosecutions were mired in politics.

Thanks for the ping, Lancey.

Yeah, it almsot looks like - - while we here at FR were shooting for the full exoneration Frank Wuterich deserved - - his attorneys were playing a game of chicken with the scumbag prosecutors for the purpose of seeing if it would be "willful" or "negligent" derilection of duty at the end. Whew.

I cannot believe a panel of Marine combat veterans would have convicted Frank of anything, especially after seeing the embarrassed prosecutors flop around like helpless flounders as their own witnesses turned into defense witnesses. Then the trial delay... Then the "deal"... I dunno. It looked to me like the defense team decided to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. And unless the fix was in and everybody knew it, I maintain what I posted last week, that Frank's lawyers stunk the place up. They did not serve Frank well. They sucked.
