#1 Justin Sharratt has rights too. A congressman bullied a court to ruin his career. I do not see how Murtha's state will survive his CONTINUED career.

Judge, be Just.

#2 Now Murtha is going to realize what "Semper Fi" means. He was probably absent that day during his supposed training (Probably was busy politicking).

#3 A popcorn-worthy event! Pass the Parmesan, please.

#4 the corps should kick murtha out... and sue him for defamation of character if he ever refers to himself as a marine again...

calling him a douchebag would be complimentary.

#5 This is what happens when you exclusively surround yourself with like-minded, partisan entrenched commrades beholding to MoveOn.org and George Soros.

#6 I hope those Marines get him for millions.

I would prefer a firing squad for sedition and treason since Murtha aided and abetted a foreign enemy during war with his PR remarks, but I'll take what I can get.

#7 LTC (ret) Bill Russell is running against Murtha this year. You could consider donating to his campaign if you want to see the Murth go down. And be sure to go to his Honor the Heroes page and watch his Defend the Heroes ad.

#8 Maybe Murtha can swing him a bloated government contract and smooth things over?

#9 I'm not an attorney but there is the GTLA. I have served in a couple of cases as an expert witness where a government entity was sued. I don't know whether the good Lance Corporal will be able to get much because of the Government Tort Liability Act (GTLA).

A government employee is not liable for causing personal injury or property damage, provided his conduct "does not amount to gross negligence that is the proximate cause of the injury or damage."

Maybe this falls into the category of gross negligence.

In our State, government liability is capped at $300,000.

Perhaps, the case will bring further attention to what a dipwad Murtha is and topple him out of office. One can hope. He does not serve the people well.
