Eddie Gallagher INOCENT!!!

No reason. I just hope the jury came to the correct conclusion. That's all.

Thread hijack alert: We jurors always get it right.:D After 35 years in Dallas, and only seated on one jury - a mental competency hearing for crazy Joe ??????, a Mexican who hijacked a bus in Denton ..... - I get called/seated as 1 of 6 for the first "Occupy Tulsa" trial of some fat bastard who violated the curfew. I don't know what he paid his defense attorney, but even the one minority lady on the jury was pissed at the defense. Guilty!!
 
They heard all the evidence why wouldn't they?

So OJ really didn’t kill Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman?

Color me relieved.

I’m not saying they got it wrong in this case. I see no indication they did. Prosecution apparently engaged in some very shady behavior that would likely get me disbarred if I did it.

But juries don’t always get it right.
 
You mean like the left has done with Hillary's e-mail scandal?

I see your point but a jury of his peers, career military officers with combat experience is a totally different animal than the jury OJ had. I agree any jury can get it wrong.

Given Chief Gallagher's military record I'm happy for him and his family.
 
None of us really know what happened in this case, we were not there nor did we see the evidence of the case. I have conflicting feeling on the case. On one hand I am concerned that a soldier may have disobeyed or violated his orders. On the other I understand and appreciate the situation our front line military members put themselves in on a daily basis. I tend to lean towards giving the benefit of doubt to the SEAL and do not really care what took place with the ISIS guy.

In the opening scene of American Sniper Kyle has to make a decision to shoot a little boy and his mother. The guy watching his back says he had better be sure because making a mistake would land him in Leavenworth. IMO putting front line troops in that type of situation is not only not fair it's absolute BS.

I understand and thanks for the response.

I certainly believe, based upon substantial anecdotal personal experience, that juries get it right massively more often than they get it wrong.

I also understand @Ostatedchi expressing hope that they definitely did in this case.
 
L-O-L! It's only obstruction now? What happened to that Memorial Day pardon?
Strange views our liberal d-bag friends have...

In their world it's obstruction when no crime had been committed and the prosecutor didn't cite a crime and it's obstruction when a person is tried by a jury of his peers and found not guilty of alleged crimes.
 
I'm sure he's glad it's over. His penalty wasn't much...reduced rank to an E6 which will impact his pay. He's retiring after 20 years and I bet he was making around $4,500 a month...now probably $3,800 of which he will get half. Now, who knows about the extra pay he was getting...hazardous duty pay, combat pay, etc etc. But, I don't think that will figure in to his retirement money. Anyway, glad it's over. Ain't war hell. And that's not a lot of pay for 20 years.

It’s a healthy balance of both.
It's the 4th of July. There's nothing healthy about thinking an acquitted man is going to get a Memorial Day presidential pardon or that Harry Potter is real. Prolixin injections. Your family will thank me later.

You do realize that the entire platoon was in the picture with the corpse?

Eddie Gallagher was the only person charged or prosecuted for this. The man was acquitted of some very serious crimes and you and the MSM all focused on a minor infraction that got him a slight demotion. A charge that could be brought against a lot of troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan but never is prosecuted. It's pathetic.
