Pardon for Army Lt

[dvdjs]

We really shouldn’t readily accept prosecutorial misconduct

Again the suggestion of misconduct without a foundation for it.

Clearly you are not a lawyer. It does matter and that is why the conduct of the prosecution earned this killer a pardon. I used ‘killer’ because the evidence does indicate it was in ‘self-defense’

Clearly you are not a lawyer.

Neither is the person who pardoned the Lt. And the pardon was made on a sustainable legal point.
the idea of self-defense in the commission of unpremeditated felony murder is laughable. And you don’t have to be an attorney to realize that.

Suggest you read the brief that all those Generals and Admirals signed.

Until you do, you are spouting nonsense.

Suggest you read the brief that all those Generals and Admirals signed.

Do you have a link to this purported “brief”. Thus far we have heard of this " support" . Let’s have a look at this " brief".

Found some additional detail

A military appeals court in 2012 found that jury instructions on self-defense were incorrect and that prosecutors failed to tell the defense of a crime scene expert who supported the claim of self-defense, but the court said the errors were harmless and did not affect the outcome of the trial.

“What I was told by President Trump … was that I received a pardon because of the prosecutorial misconduct that happened during the trial,” Behenna said Wednesday.

Nothing from the genreals.
And this is nothing new.
Who knows what TGrump was thinking?
But what is the effect of the ostensible errors.
The idea that the lt. did not plan to kill the man he abducted, stripped, and interrogated at the point of a gun - but acted when the victim tired to extricate himself fomr the criminal situation - is already clear in the charge of unpremeditated murder.
