I think we’re all pretty much up to speed on SOC Gallagher’s court-martial and the stunning court room confession of another SEAL, who claims he was the one who killed the ISIS Jihadist and not Gallagher. That this was completely unexpected and torpedoes the Prosecutions case should go without saying. Should go, but doesn’t…<\/p>\n
I received an email from ChipNASA with an update, and I haven’t seen many messages with that number of obscenities lately. In the name of decorum we all expect here at TAH, I redacted his message. Here it is.<\/p>\n
“OK, Xxxx<\/strong> these xxxxxxx xxxxxxx.<\/strong> Xxxx <\/strong>them right in the xxxxhole, xxxxxxx xxxx<\/strong>wads. Well said, Chip. His major complaint is the prosecutes are doubling down, here:<\/p>\n Navy prosecutors intend to continue moving forward with premeditated murder charges against Special Operations Chief Eddie Gallagher, despite shocking testimony on Thursday from another SEAL that he was the one who had killed a captured ISIS fighter in Mosul in 2017 \u2013 not Gallagher.<\/p>\n Brian O\u2019Rourke, Navy Region Southwest spokesman for Commander Rear Adm. Bette Bolivar, told the Navy Times that the Navy \u201cwill not be dropping premeditated murder charges against Chief Petty Officer Gallagher, despite Petty Officer [Corey] Scott\u2019s testimony. The credibility of a witness is for the jury to decide.\u201d<\/p>\n Scott on Thursday revealed under oath \u2013 and under the protection of immunity that was granted by the government \u2013 that he, Gallagher and others had treated the ISIS fighter when he was brought in to Seal Team 7 for about 20 minutes. The detainee appeared to be stabilized but then Gallagher stabbed the ISIS fighter below his collarbone, Scott had testified.<\/p>\n Then, Scott, a SEAL medic, went over and made the decision to cover the ISIS fighter\u2019s breathing tube so he would die by asphyxiation, or suffocation, which he did.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew he was going to die anyway, and I wanted to save him from waking up to whatever would happen to him,\u201d Scott said during his testimony, the Navy Times reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So the prosecution will carry on, their case shattered. Again. Perhaps they’re really hoping the witnesses who saw SOC Gallagher snipe the old man and little girl will pull through for them.<\/p>\n Somehow I doubt it. <\/p>\n More to read here: American Military News<\/a><\/p>\n Tip of the old chapeau to ChipNASA for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
