SAN DIEGO - Jury selection was set to begin on Monday in the trial of a U.S. Navy SEAL platoon leader court-martialed on charges of murdering a wounded Iraqi prisoner and shooting unarmed civilians, a war crimes case that has drawn the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The proceedings in a military courthouse at U.S. Naval Base San Diego are due to last three weeks, starting with the selection of between five and 15 active-duty Navy officers and enlisted personnel to hear the case and render a verdict. Empanelling the jury is expected to take one or two days. The presiding judge, a Navy captain, ultimately removed the lead prosecutor from the case and freed Gallagher from pre-trial confinement.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including obstructing justice in the case. He maintains that fellow SEAL team members who are testifying against him, several under grants of immunity, are disgruntled subordinates who fabricated allegations to force him from command.
I don’t understand what happened but I’m kinda thinking he provoked you because they want to die and get virgins that’s all I have to say about this

In Trump's America, the only possible result of this trial will be acquittal, or subsequent pardon. Regardless of the facts.
Ah ha... WTF ? 😅
Ed Gallaghter is a psychopath, period. DanCrenshawTX should hang his head in shame for defending a cold blooded killer whose own platoon had to resort to protecting civilians from this monster!

As a combat veteran, we all know we are held accountable to the UCMJ and the Geneva Conventions. I hope the truth surfaces and if he did wrong he is held accountable.
