Title: 1 LT Michael Behenna?
Post by: Leatherneck on April 06, 2010, 06:49:02 PM
Remember his case? Army Ranger who killed Ali Mansur in 2008. Swift Army "justice" court martialed him and found him guilty of premeditated murder. He has an appeal going, and unitedpatriots.org is asking for donations. Google will reveal the whole story.

Worthwhile? I'm thinking of donating.

Michael Savage has been all over the story raising money for a defense fund.  He interviewed his mother (a lawyer) on his show.  What little I know of the situation it smells a little like Ramos and Campean of Border Patrol fame. . . . a political prosecution.  I do reserve the right to be wrong.

That website you mentioned has links.  It sounds like they are setting up a fund for the defense of a number of soldiers.  Hard to say on that case.  From the version I got linked to, it sounds rigged, but I didn't see the rulings or other evidence which would support murder.

I'd like to see the Art 32 Hearing before I make a judgment. 

There's an old saying; If you're innocent, hope you're in a Military Court, if you're guilty hope you're in a civilian court.
