He has already answered that he was not sure, Your Honor. I ll let you re-ask the question. A. Ninety percent. The closing arguments of both sides focused on the corroborating evidence or lack thereof and the credibility of LTJG Meier and appellant. The defense argument focused on the believability of appellant s testimony.
People make mistakes on dates.
And this case does not rise and fall on that mistake. Thank you, Your Honor. Mr. President, members, there is only one witness who has testified in this court-martial who had the luxury and the benefit of seeing all the Government s witnesses and seeing all the Government s evidence before taking the stand and testifying, and that s the accused. And remember, as a bonus, he had a three-day weekend to prepare for his testimony. Although appellant was represented by both civilian and military counsel, neither of appellant s lawyers objected to the above argument or requested the military judge to take any remedial action with respect to it.
