In the lead up to Thanksgiving 2013, the Edwards Air Force base community prepared for the four day weekend by throwing a wild party. The mission was clear: wear anything but clothes, play drinking games, rage.

But some party attendees took that final piece a little… too literally.

Neighbors called security forces to report a loud crashing sound and screaming that woke them around 6 AM. Security forces arrived to find a vomit streaked car and a woman clinging to life.

I used the appellate court opinions: AFCCA, CAAF
