Medic shocks court by testifying HE killed ISIS fighter in Iraq - not the Navy SEAL on trial for murder
2019-06-20
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Corey Scott testified that he is the one who killed the young ISIS militant that Edward Gallagher is accused of murdering

  • Gallagher is on trial in San Diego for a host of alleged war crimes

  • Among them is murdering the young militant who his comrades say he stabbed

  • He claims he opened his throat with a knife so he could breathe

  • The young fighter had a collapsed lung and he says he was trying to save him

  • Gallagher put breathing tube in his mouth but Scott said he put his thumb over it to kill him

  • He said he feared the teenager would be tortured to death by Iraqi forces if not

  • Scott had been called as a witness for the prosecution but stunned the court by saying he put his hands over the opening Gallagher created in the boy's neck

  • Scott had been granted immunity for his own crimes in exchange for cooperating with prosecution

#5  Oh, don't forget the NCIS episode where he good doctor blamed himself for killing a captive when the torture was done by others.

#4  And that's all folks, mercy killing by the bloody MEDIC. If this wasn't a JAG episode, then it's in NCIS or LAW and ORDER. Good Lord, what a shitshow.

#3  Are you sure this *wasn't* an episode of JAG? It's got Made For TV written all over it.

#2  Granted immunity, claims credit....

Yeah, there are some JAG officers that will be reassigned pretty soon.

#1  ....There were episodes of JAG that were more believable than this sequence of events. Everybody in the chain here, including the Navy lawyers, needs to update their resume, NOW.
