#2 ..There are no bodies, no names, no grieving relatives, no civilian witnesses, no crime scene, and no physical evidence...
Other than that, they've got him cold.

#3 Also, was he one of the ones charged earlier? If so, this sure sounds like double jeopardy. But them, I am not ~~liberal~~ lawyer.

#4 The Rodney King/LA Police case was double jeopardy as the founding fathers wrote, but not what the 'Living' Constitutionalist would have you believe. IIRC Congress had already passed a law authorizing anyone out of the service to be recalled for any crime committed while in service. If true, then this is an attempt to not have a 'jury of one's peers' sit in judgment.

Apparently the military's legal system doesn't count.

#6 And furthermore:

I'd rather have the military legal system separate from the civilian legal system. Those who haven't been there cannot be counted on to understand military circumstances.
