Truthfully I haven't followed this whole saga too closely because I get bored of it pretty fast. Wasn't the charge that he threw a grenade and killed a medic in a firefight? That seems just ridiculous quite frankly. Its a war zone and a kid threw a grenade and killed someone...seems appropriate in the circumstances, no?
I know, I'll be labeled a bleeding heart and all that, but if that's the actual charge he should at least have a fair trial and go from there. As it stands it looks like a farce to me. Sure, his father and family have supported some terrible things, and maybe he did as well. We still have due process though and it applies whether we like the guy or not.
