@@MickLoud999   NO, no, no, mick! I understand all or most of those places where our abysmal prison/slave worker system, as well as the administration of Justice policy&procedure, are imperfect or even corrupted and inhumane. I'm acutely aware of the rates of imprisonment comparisons for the US and the multi-tiered system that is harsher and more draconian to more select demographics of people. I also am aware of the labor exploitation of prisoners and the savage, unfit, unhealthy, abusive, and sometimes torturous material conditions, including the actions of facility staff, that our near-medieval modus operandi for public safety is visiting upon citizens. Some of whom are incarcerated unfairly, as innocents, or for harmless acts, or due to applications of antiquated Jim crow laws etc.

More to the point, I know (from personal experience) that prosecutors in this country commonly engage in illegal, unethical, improper, evil, and bigoted practices in the application of their public duties. Including collusion with 3rd party strong arms, witness tampering, withholding evidence, evidence tampering, paid witnesses, forced confessions, etc.
And yes, of course I agree, it IS and SHOULD ALWAYS be a central tenet of our country as a whole that a person is to be considered innocent until it is proven they are guilty. And I think, on all of these items so far, we agree on those things being real serious problems that need solving.

Where we seem to differ is with the degree to which the prosecution may use absolute expressions in the language of their opening and closing statements.

The whole reason for having Prosecuting attorneys and Council for defense is so that both sides can be argued by professionals to the highest degree without any conflict of interest. Using the phrase "this person is guilty" is practically obligatory in light of the responsibilities of the prosecutor. And this is not in conflict with the core value of "innocent until proven guilty" for two reasons. 1. The opportunity must must be available, at least in one point in time, for the people and victims to present evidence and make their case. Thats the "until proven" part of the phrase. 2. The defense is present so that the accused may face their accusers, may object to any impropriety, and refute the prosecutions case and present the defense. So it's not as if there isn't a favorable narrative placed alongside the unfavorable narrative. That is to say, the defense stands up right before or after the prosecutor and says unequivocally that "this man is innocent!!!" Because that's how trials work.

If the prosecutor, while making their case, instead said something wishy washy like "perhaps this man is guilty, maybe. Who knows? He's innocent right now. But I have some evidence that could possibly point toward his being guilty, if the jury finds it convincing."
Then that statement would be a blatant violation of prosecutorial ethics and their responsibility/requirement/BAR licensing to make the case for their clients to the best of their ability, in good faith, and to the fullest extent of the law. Likewise for the defense counsel should they say "maybe my client is guilty. But I think he's most likely innocent! Could be." Making that sort of Defense would be grounds for a mistrial itself and possibly could get the counselor disbarred.

If it were the judge making these kinds of biased absolute statements during trial I could see where your frustration was coming from. But the prosecution or defense making those sorts of absolute statements? Well, that's their damn job.

I think the Crux of our miscommunications, other than those absolute expressions during opening and closing arguments, is where your perception of proper trial procedure flips from Theory and the ethics of law as it is written to the practice of the law, and back. Notwithstanding, of course, misconduct which is plainly wrong and bad and illegal in both senses.

Have I addressed the disagreement? What is on target and what did I miss?



@ttpllc6646

Totally agree!

Talk is easy, when many do not see these widow makers terrorists slicing and beheading your men. If he no longer qualifies psychologically to handle the job, then retire him, but do not touch or remove his honor.
Not all soldiers can handle so many atrocities and still act normal following all the rules made by men that never experienced a war combat.

"Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die" ― Herbert Hoover
"War is young men dying and old men talking" ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
The truth is, our soldiers should be trained to protect our country, not the assets and interests of the few wealthy at foreign countries under the tittle of fighting terrorism. Using the military to invade a foreign country to protect Corporate's assets and resources is the worse terrorism. Any civilian would become a so called "terrorist or insurgent" if the US government would allow foreign military to come and invade the US in the name of "keeping the order".
Let's protect our home country, and leave the other messed country to be fixed by their own corrupted government and leaders.

@cleggonator

Imagine getting put in jail for killing an isis member.... This is completely twisted

@LL-fi4rr

He was also accused of shooting a girl walking with her friends and an unarmed elderly man by Navy snipers, but those events weren’t filmed and leaked to the public so they were much easier to get away with.

@mw5213

Rules of engagement..

@rapitity7043

Paft Dunk stupidest rule yet

@cozysaucer6300

Alex Mulvihill yeah why’s that ? It’s Isis the people that used to be al-qaeda in Iraq, the people who were the terrorist group behind 911

@cozysaucer6300

Alex Mulvihill ok I get that but still it’s isis u cant trust anyone from any group like that no matter what because u need to assume they are hostile to be better prepared for an attack

Everyone wants the deed done but no one wants to get their hands dirty.

@MichelleSPodcast

So you're talking about doing something that's necessary, even though he was an Isis fighter, he was practically a boy, and he was clearly injured and surrounded by more than 12 Navy Seals. I appreciate everything those people do and I think that they have a horrendous job that 99% of us, myself included, could never do or bear. However, there are standards and stabbing an injured enemy who is surrounded by enemies and then posing for a picture with his dead body is not the standard. I believe the president was wrong to get involved because we all know that, especially as a Navy SEAL, you are more protected than anybody in this country. They don't want anything to get out that may tarnish the reputation and yet, they still found reason to prosecute this person. Why would they do that if it wasn't Justified? I believe that because Gallagher is an avid Trump supporter, he received rights and privileges that others wouldn't.

@MichelleSPodcast

@Chris Bateman yeah, I can only imagine. That was kind of my point. That's definitely not a standard I would want for my military but none of us can even imagine what it's like to be there and see your brothers and teams get killed in front of you and what that does to your psyche and your morale. I wasn't judging them at all, although I do believe it's not a standard that we should be proud of.

@MichelleSPodcast

@Chris Bateman also, I've heard that there are people who join the military in efforts to go to war because they have a disposition for that. They thrive and enjoy combat and that's something that is out of place in regular Society. So I'm sure just like there are those people in the outside world, I've heard that some people enlist because they enjoy the violence.
