Very interesting read. Things are now clear as mud in that case.
Testimony by Private England and other witnesses speaking on her behalf was intended to mitigate her actions and secure a shorter prison term, but Colonel Pohl warned several times that it was verging on a statement of her innocence.
"If you don't want to plead guilty, don't," the judge told her this morning. "Am I missing something here?"
Once court resumed this afternoon, Colonel Pohl said the contradiction between Private England's guilty plea for conspiring to mistreat prisoners and Private Graner's testimony could not be resolved.
"You can't have a one-person conspiracy," Colonel Pohl said.
May have register to read.
