Quote
Capt. Ross:
Mr. Maguire can you raise your right hand please? Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you'll give this general court martial will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God?
Robert C. McGuire:
[before sitting down]
I do
Capt. Ross:
have a seat please sir, would you state your full name and occupation for the record?
Robert C. McGuire:
Robert C. Maguire special agent, Naval Investigative Service
Capt. Ross:
thank you, Mr. Maguire did your office receive a letter from a PFC William Santiago on three September on this year?
Robert C. McGuire:
we did
Capt. Ross:
what did that letter say?
Robert C. McGuire:
that a member of Private Santiago's unit had illegally fired his weapon over the fence line
Capt. Ross:
was that Marine identified in the letter?
Robert C. McGuire:
no, I notified the barracks CO Colonel Jessup that I would be coming down to investigate
Capt. Ross:
and what did you find?
Robert C. McGuire:
the shift only reported one Marine returned his weapon with a round of ammunition missing
Capt. Ross:
who was that?
Robert C. McGuire:
Lance Corporal Harold Dawson
Capt. Ross:
[to Danny]
your witness
Kaffee:
Mr. Maguire did you question Lance Corporal Dawson about the fence line shooting?
Robert C. McGuire:
yes, he "claims" to have been engaged in some manner by the enemy
Kaffee:
but you don't believe him?
Robert C. McGuire:
it's not my place to...
Kaffee:
[interrupts him]
Lance Corporal Dawson's been charged with a number of crimes, why wasn't he charged with firing at the enemy without cause?
Robert C. McGuire:
there wasn't enough evidence to support such a charge.
Kaffee:
thank you
Capt. Ross:
Mr. Maguire, I don't understand what you mean when you say, "there wasn't enough evidence to support such a charge," you had William Santiago's letter.
Robert C. McGuire:
Santiago was the only eyewitness. I never had the chance to interview him so I don't know what he saw.
