Know any good lawyer jokes?

That's a trick question. Everyone knows there is no such thing as a good lawyer.

If you are familiar with the UCMJ, it is very clear about a soldiers conduct. It does not discern between combat and non-combat. I have heard no implication he did not get a fair trial.

I’m no lawyer and wasn’t at the court-martial but the Judge did not allow testimony as to the identity of the victim. They’re not even sure who was killed and it was contended by the defense that he was an insurgent.

No, it is not. In your previous posts on this thread you have used these terms; "trial" and "jury".

If you are familiar with the UCMJ.

Well, I'm aware of this; the UCMJ does not make it a point to use civil or criminal law words. So I will afford you a degree of respect and not question your knowledge of anything.
