    What did the prosecutor say? I probably missed it. 

    There was also a really weird part of Binger's (may have been the other prosecutor during rebuttal, I can't recall) closing arguments:

    1. He said that if you bring a gun, you lose the right to self-defense.

    2. He then said that the people attacking KR had the same right to self-defense as he did.

    That was just really odd and all over the place.  I wonder if anyone in the jury heard it the same way that I did, which is basically that KR did in fact have a right to self-defense.

    Yeah, I guess they had different standards in combat.  We always called them Army gloves.  My sister sent me that picture this morning and it's the first time that I have ever seen it.  After seeing his face and recovering from the dust in the room, I thought "Look at the old man wearing his Army gloves!"

    Anyone know of the best route to get service records?  I'm the family historian and only have a partial idea of what both my grandparents went through.

    One was in The Pacific; the other a sniper in Europe.  The latter got there late, but I recently found out he may have been in The Battle of the Bulge.

    PM sent.  I thought of another way to get service records.

  4. I posted this picture in the USMC Birthday thread, but it's also very appropriate here.

    A picture of my old man (far right) in Korea circa 1950.  Marine Corps Sergeant, mortarman, and the reason for my joining the Corps.  Good man with faults, and a great father.  He passed way about 8 years ago and I miss him every day.

    It depends on the branch of service and the years.  Your best bet is to probably start by getting the DD214.  This page has some good links:

    Be warned that some records were lost in a flood or fire or something like that.  I think it was St. Louis, but I really can't recall.  I ended up having to go to Headquarters Marine Corps for my DD214 because of it.

  6. My dad (far right) in Korea, probably 1950.  Sergeant in the Marine Corps, he was a mortarman and the reason that I joined the Corps.  He died about 8 years ago.  He was a man with his faults, but a fantastic father that made sure to spend time with me.  He taught me more than I can possibly express here.

     

    Edited to add that we talked every Marine Corps Birthday after I got out of boot camp.

    He was hit with a skateboard and then with a rock in the head.  Then he fell.

    Then he was hit again with the skateboard and the guy goes for his gun. That's when he shoots Huber.

    But according to pinchy-zoomy, he fell down simply because he was light headed.  I have no idea what the purpose was of the DA making that point.

    he’s not fucked either way. the propmaster and on-set prop guy will take the hit. they’ll never work again.

    they typically have shields in the firing line, which tells me this wasn’t during a live take or rehearsal, so prob no footage. 

    insurance company will write a check. 

    Except for the fact that he's going to live with this the rest of his life.  I can't imagine how I would handle that.
