Frank Nash,
-
I refuse to take into account your service in the Army.
-
That was obviously done in 2009,
-
when you faced an earlier court, charged with assault.
-
I will not let you claim credit for it twice.
-
Furthermore, I think you have done the Army a great disservice.
-
Corporal Buckley was, by all accounts, a brilliant soldier,
-
and you have robbed your country of his services
-
at a time when they are most needed.
-
Not once have you offered this court any explanation,
-
any reason, any motive,
-
any excuse for this savage crime.
