Cpl Vic Burk Should be Interesting! In Military Law the Books are stacked against the Accused with One Significant Exception, Rules of "Evidence" Make a Prosecutors Job "More Challenging".

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel As we always said in the Corps, "You're guilty until you can prove yourself innocent!" This guy is going to most likely end up with a bad conduct discharge.

Cpl Vic Burk - Unfortunately I Suspect You are Correct but Military Law has Surprised Me on Many Occasions. The One I Helped Send away "Forever" is Now Walking Free after Years of Appeals. Sgt Clayton Lonetree as are His Fellow Moscow Marines.

Everyone is entitled to their day in court. If found guilty I hope he has a very long time to reflect on his actions.
