Read the transcript of that trial found by a buddy of mine while searching for the history of a lost relative who was a soldier under General Washington. He sent it to me and I share it with you. If this kind of justice is what you want to return to our country do nothing. If you do not, get involved, in every State and Federal election. Vote for a congress and house that will fight for our constitution to be followed to the letter.
