Of course, I’m trying to rile up the conspiracy nuts with this. On the other hand…
Witnesses in Army trial killed in crash
Several U.S. Army soldiers killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq last week were to be witnesses in the homicide trial of their former superior.
Honolulu’s KITV reported Sunday that some of the soldiers who died in the crash had been scheduled to testify in the trial of Sgt. 1st Class Trey Corrales, who is accused of orchestrating the death of an Iraqi detainee this year.
Corrales, who was in the same Hawaii-based platoon as the soldiers killed in Wednesday’s crash, allegedly shot the detainee repeatedly June 23. He is accused of then ordering his subordinate and fellow defendant, Spc. Christopher Shore, to continue shooting the man. The detainee died from those wounds.
Retired military lawyer Earle Partington said the loss of the witnesses could prove detrimental to the prosecution’s case against the pair.
“If these witnesses are no longer alive, there is no way for the accused or their counsel to question them. Unfortunately, it could mean that there is no trial,” Partington told the TV station. “Obviously, it depends on what witnesses the government still has.”
Alot of soldiers die in iraq, its iraq for gods sake. Gimme a conspiracy with the illuminati or the bildabergers thats where its at.
The military used to (still does?) push trials through as fast as possible for this reason, and because of redeployments. Who knows where the witnesses might be tomorrow, or if they are even alive?
You can never be too sure with plane crashes. It’s a very convenient way to get rid of people with little evidence. That’s how Clinton kept Ron Brown from talking about his Chinese connections, getting him killed in Yugoslavia, and then later bombing the Chinese embassy to cover that up.
They were flying in WHAT??
A chopper?
thats another interesting question…
why are our choppers Falling out of the air, with NO assistance?
Who is doing the maintenance?
#3. And the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens were on their way to expose the CIA’s role in overthrowing the government of Iran, and, well, you know what happened then …
Corrales died in a helicopter crash, maybe his superior officers were Kirk, Spok and McCoy?
Hey, you forgot the big one. Where Marine One crashed in ’82 and killed Reagan and a stunt double had to pretend to be the President for almost seven years.
#7. Didn’t Lee Majors star in that one? I think he was a bounty hunter on the side …
While it certainly is convenient for Corrales I don’t think his career is worth a helo to the army.
It was shot down by ALIENS, I tell ya!
Oh yeah, and do you remember when the Soviets shot down a Korean airliner with a US Senator onboard? Well, what really happened was they landed the plane, took everyone off and then created debris for others to see.
Also, that plane crash after 9/11 sure looks like a terrorist attack, but we were told otherwise.
