Brilliant maneuver. Secure blanket immunity for the underlying crime, lead the prosecution into believing you’re going to nail their target, then take 100% of the blame to save your Chief, and the life of your brother. Outstanding!
A prosecution witness testifying at the court-martial of a decorated Navy SEAL accused of murdering a teenage Islamic State prisoner in 2017 dropped a bombshell in court on Thursday: He is responsible for the killing.
The revelation seemed to stun the courtroom and led the prosecutor to accuse his own witness of lying.
During the hearing, Navy SEAL Corey Scott admitted on the stand that he saw the defendant, Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, stab an injured fighter in the neck, but that the stabbing did not kill the fighter.
When asked what happened next, Scott, who was granted immunity to testify, said he suffocated the fighter until he died.
Gallagher is being court-martialed in the killing of the fighter in Iraq in 2017 and also on charges of attempted murder for allegedly shooting two civilians from a sniper's perch. He has pleaded not guilty.
