Military Dragnet

The Lieutenant ordered me to shoot the prisoner Mamma. What was I supposed to do?


Listen Later

The Air Policeman was ordered to shoot the prisoner. Is that murder? How one Policeman got away with killing an unarmed, injured prisoner. This case was finally decided by the US Supreme court. Charges of prosecution for political purposes were thrown around. A man was so guilt ridden he confessed to his mother who got her boy sentenced to life in prison, at hard labor. Was the prisoner a thief, Korean, Chinese, a spy, a saboteur, a guerilla? What was the victims real name? Was the killer ordered to kill? The crime was investigated and men were charged and sent to prison, but were they all guilty? Lots of questions, most are answered. A case that effects our military to this day. The photo is the man who admitted to pulling the trigger.
