sorry said santiago wasn't to be touched

your witness corporal hammer are you in dawson  in downey's barracks room five minutes after  

this meeting no sir thanks i have no  more questions the witness is excused

the government calls corporal raymond thompson  please accord i understand captain ross is  

planning on calling all the other members of rifle  security company windward to testify in light of  

the defense lieutenant caffey is planning to mount  the explicit instructions of the platoon leader  

seems particularly relevant testimony the defense  is willing to concede that all 22 witnesses will  

testify substantially as corporal hamaker did  if the government is willing to concede that  

none of them were in dawson and downey's room in  1620 on september 6th captain the government will  

stipulate then we'll adjourn for the day you can  call your next witness tomorrow morning all right

i want to go over the doctor again i  think we're taking the right approach  

joe we've been over this already listen to me  three o'clock stone says he doesn't know what  

killed santiago then he meets with jessup  and at five o'clock he says it was poison  

the doctor's not telling the truth oh that's  a relief i was afraid i wouldn't be able to  

use a liar liar pants on fire defense we can't  prove coercion let's go over what we have okay  

private santiago was admitted to the er at  0 0 12 and he was pronounced dead at 0 0 37.  

dr stone what is lactic acidosis if the muscles  and other cells of the body burn sugar instead  

of oxygen lactic acid is produced that lactic acid  is what caused santiago's lungs to bleed normally  

how long does it take for the muscles and other  cells to begin burning sugar instead of oxygen  

20 to 30 minutes and what caused this  process to be sped up in santiago's muscles  

an ingested poison of some kind your honor we  object at this point the witness is speculating  

commander stone is an expert medical witness  in this courtroom his opinion is not considered  

speculation randa stone is an internist not a  criminologist and the medical facts here are  

ultimately inconclusive a point i'm confident  you'll illustrate to the court members under  

cross-examination so i'm sure you won't mind  if his opinion is admitted now not at all sir

dr stone did willie santiago die of poisoning  absolutely now you're aware that the lab report  

and the coroner's report show no traces  of poison yes i am then how do you justify  

literally dozens of toxins which are virtually  undetectable both in the human body and on  

the fabric the nature of the acidosis is the  compelling factor in this issue thank you sir

commander is it possible for a person to  have an affliction some sort of condition  

which might also speed up the process of acidosis

commander is it possible it's possible  what might some of those conditions mean  

if a person had a coronary  disorder or cerebral disorder the  

process would be more rapid commander if  i had a coronary condition and a perfectly  

clean rag was placed in my mouth and the rag was  accidentally pushed too far down is it possible  

that my cells would continue burning sugar after  the rag was taken out it would have to be a very  

serious condition it's impossible to have a  serious coronary condition where the initial  

warning signals were so mild as to escape  a physician during a routine medical exam  

possibly there would still be symptoms though what  kind of symptoms there are hundreds of chest pains  

yes shortness of breath yes fatigue of course

doctor is this your signature

yes it is this is an order for private  santiago to be put on restricted duty  

would you read your handwritten remarks  at the bottom of the page please sir  

initial testing negative  patient complains of chest pains  

shortness of breath and fatigue restricted from  running distances over five miles for one week

commander isn't it possible that santiago  had a serious coronary condition it was  

that condition and not some mysterious poison  that caused the accelerated chemical reaction  

no is that possible no i personally give  each man a thorough physical examination  

private santiago was given a clean bill of  health that's why it had to be poison right  

commander cause lord knows if you put a man  with a serious coronary condition on duty with  

a clean bill of health and that man died from  a heart related incident you'd have a lot to  

answer for when you doctor object move to strike  sustained i have no more questions your honor  

dr stone you've held the license to  practice medicine for 17 years you're  

board certified in internal medicine you are chief  of internal medicine at a hospital which serves 5  

426 people in your professional medical opinion  was willy santiago poisoned your honor we renew  

our objection to commander stone's testimony  and ask that it be stricken from the record  

we further asked the court to instruct the  court members to lend no weight to this  

witness's testimony the objections of the rule  council you're honored the defense strenuously  

objects and requests an 802 conference so that his  honor might have an opportunity to hear discussion  

before ruling on this objection the objection of  the defense has been heard and overruled move to  

reconsider your objection is noted the witness  is an expert and the court will hear his opinion

dr stone and your expert professional  opinion was willie santiago poisoned  

yes thank you sir i have no more  questions commander you may step down

uh please the court while we reserve the right  to call rebuttal witnesses if the need arises  

government rests we'll stand in recess until 100  

monday the 19th at which time the defense  will call its first witness all right

i strenuously object is that how it works

objection overruled no no no no no i strenuously  object oh wow strenuously objective i should take  

some time to reconsider i got it on the record  yeah you also got the court members thinking  

we're afraid of the doctor you object once so  they can hear us say he's not a criminologist  

you keep after it the way you didn't suddenly  our great cross looks like a bunch of fancy  

lawyer tricks it's the difference between  paper law and trial law christ you even had  

the judge saying stone was the next one  sam she made a mistake it's not relived

i'm not gonna go call my wife i'll see you tonight

why do you hate them so much they beat up on a  weakling that's all they did all right the rest of  

this is just smoke-filled coffee house crap they  tortured and tormented a weaker kid they didn't  

like him so they killed him and why because  he couldn't run very bad all right all right  

everybody take the night off i'm sorry no i know  look we were working 20 hours a day for three and  

a half weeks straight just take the night off  go see your wife see your daughter joe go do  

whatever it is you do when you're not here  what day is tomorrow saturday start at 10.

why do you like them so much

because they stand on a wall and they say  nothing's gonna hurt you tonight not on my watch

you
