Provide two witnesses to him conspiring with "them" to commit said

You did notice the "two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on
Confession in open Court" bit in there, didn't you?


I know of one witness personally....
And I am sure the other soldiers from his unit, at least those who were present and survived can join him in testitfying..

ha ha ha Isn't it funny that this "tankfixer" is so dense...ha ha ha

give him hell mccall

Hint: Everyone who cracks up and kills people is not necessarily
acting in collusion with some enemy.

Each person has an individual responsibility to determine if his actions are moral, and
no government or army may ever take that responsibility away.

murder - the unjustifiable and intentional killing of people, NO EXCEPTIONS.
