Navy recruit, 21, is found NOT GUILTY of 2020 arson that gutted USS Bonhomme Richard and caused $1.2B in damage - as it's revealed there was a SECOND suspect who was kicked out of service

Seaman Recruit Ryan Mays was found not guilty of setting the fire that destroyed USS Bonhomme Richard in July 2020

Prosecutors failed to present enough evidence which tied Mays to the arson

The ship burned for more than four days and caused an estimated $1.2 billion in damages

Mays' defense introduced information that the Navy had another suspect they gave up on after the sailor was kicked out of the service

'Sailor E.M.' was seen 'sprinting' from the location the flame began

#1 ....I should mention - and honored mods, I understand if this gets the post deleted - but there are indications (no more than that at this point) that the E.M. in question is a member of a Protected Class(TM).

Bingo! The not guilty judgement of course abrogated the need for the introduction of the defense evidence proffer of more details. I knew this smelled in how long it was taking to come to trial. Two year-long delay was the signature of making the case lose PR impact because something would make it damage the whole pronoun woke-Navy diversity melodrama. Tidy this up and move on, careers are at stake, and good order, morale and discipline of the service will hardly be noticed.

#4 ^ Nevermind the Navy lost a carrier and is likely to lose more if the woke nonsense continues.

#5 This is a summary of the Navy's investigation from 2021. I'm not sure how much more brutal the defense case could have been.
