“Prosecution of Navy SEALs Unraveling,” by Rowan Scarborough – Human Events
With two courtroom exonerations, the military’s prosecution of three Navy SEALs is unraveling because one of the two star witnesses is a suspected al Qaeda terrorist, and the second one has told inconsistent stories, persons involved in the case tell HUMAN EVENTS. ** Neal Puckett, the attorney for Petty Officer Matthew McCabe, said the two not guilty verdicts last week should prompt Maj. Gen. Charles Cleveland, who brought the charges, to dismiss the case against his client. ** “It would be a waste of money to put McCabe on trial when they can’t prove the underlining event happened,” he said of the scheduled May 3 trial in Norfolk. “All three cases have the identical witnesses and evidence. It’s the same case.” ** Now that the military’s evidence against the three SEALs has become public in court, it is questionable why Gen. Cleveland, who oversees the special ops segment of Central Command, ever filed charges.
