on the afternoon of September 6
with the members of the Second Platoon?
00:00:04.632 --> 00:00:05.929
Yes, sir.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.594
Would you tell the court
the substance of that meeting?
00:00:08.067 --> 00:00:11.833
Lieutenant Kendrick told us
we had an informer in our group...
00:00:11.906 --> 00:00:14.602
that Private Santiago had gone
outside the chain of command...
00:00:14.676 --> 00:00:17.611
and reported to the N.I.S.
on a member of our platoon.
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.581
Did that make you mad?
You can tell the truth, Corporal.
00:00:21.649 --> 00:00:23.048
- Did it make you mad?
- Yes, sir.
00:00:23.551 --> 00:00:24.779
How mad?
00:00:24.853 --> 00:00:28.687
Private Santiago betrayed a code
we believe in very deeply, sir.
00:00:28.756 --> 00:00:31.748
- Were the other squad members angry?
- Object. Speculation.
00:00:31.826 --> 00:00:34.001
- Were Dawson and Downey?
- Is the government counsel...
00:00:34.999 --> 00:00:38.657
honestly asking the witness to testify
as to how my clients felt?
00:00:38.733 --> 00:00:40.667
Sustained.
00:00:42.503 --> 00:00:46.462
Corporal, did Lieutenant Kendrick
leave a standing order at that meeting?
00:00:46.541 --> 00:00:48.634
- Yes, sir.
- What was it?
00:00:50.411 --> 00:00:54.438
Well, it was clear that he didn't want
us taking matters into our own hands.
00:00:54.515 --> 00:00:56.506
What was the order?
00:00:58.386 --> 00:01:01.355
Sir, he said Santiago
wasn't to be touched.
00:01:02.924 --> 00:01:04.001
Your witness.
00:01:05.593 --> 00:01:08.003
Corporal Hammaker, were you
in Dawson and Downey's barracks...
00:01:08.001 --> 00:01:09.999
five minutes after this meeting?
00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:11.122
No, sir.
00:01:11.199 --> 00:01:13.861
Thanks.
I have no more questions.
00:01:13.935 --> 00:01:15.994
The witness is excused.
00:01:19.999 --> 00:01:22.139
The government calls
Corporal Raymond Thomas.
00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:25.441
I understand Captain Ross is planning
on calling all the other members...
00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:28.001
of Rifle Security Company Windward
to testify.
00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:30.001
In light of the defense Lieutenant
Kaffee is planning to mount...
00:01:30.001 --> 00:01:34.001
the explicit instructions of a platoon
leader seems particularly relevant.
00:01:34.489 --> 00:01:37.996
The defense is willing to concede
that all 22 witnesses...
00:01:37.994 --> 00:01:39.389
will testify substantially
as Corporal Hammaker did...
00:01:39.999 --> 00:01:41.999
if the government is willing to concede
that none of them...
00:01:41.896 --> 00:01:45.001
were in Dawson and Downey's room
at 16:20 on September 6.
00:01:45.999 --> 00:01:47.001
Captain?
00:01:47.602 --> 00:01:50.993
The government will stipulate.
00:01:50.001 --> 00:01:54.994
Then we'll adjourn for the day.
You can call your next witness tomorrow.
00:01:54.175 --> 00:01:56.999
All rise.
00:02:07.999 --> 00:02:09.999
I want to go over the doctor again.
00:02:09.059 --> 00:02:12.999
- We're taking the right approach.
- We've been over this already.
00:02:12.999 --> 00:02:16.001
Listen to me. 3:00: Stone says
he doesn't know what killed Santiago.
00:02:16.197 --> 00:02:19.001
Then he meets with Jessup,
and at 5:00 he says it was poison?
00:02:19.999 --> 00:02:22.001
- The doctor's not telling the truth.
- That's a relief!
00:02:22.001 --> 00:02:25.999
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use
the "liar, liar, pants on fire" defense.
00:02:25.094 --> 00:02:30.001
We can't prove coercion.
Let's go over what we have, okay?
00:02:41.001 --> 00:02:44.785
Private Santiago was admitted
to the E.R. at 0012...
00:02:44.001 --> 00:02:48.386
and he was pronounced dead at 0037.
00:02:48.999 --> 00:02:51.066
Dr. Stone, what is lactic acidosis?
00:02:51.733 --> 00:02:54.999
If the muscles and other cells
of the body burn sugar...
00:02:54.001 --> 00:02:57.803
instead of oxygen,
lactic acid is produced.
00:02:57.001 --> 00:03:01.999
That lactic acid is what caused
Santiago's lungs to bleed.
00:03:01.376 --> 00:03:04.001
Normally, how long does it take
for the muscles and other cells...
00:03:04.999 --> 00:03:06.999
to begin burning sugar instead of oxygen?
00:03:06.881 --> 00:03:09.441
Twenty to thirty minutes.
00:03:09.517 --> 00:03:13.999
And what caused this process
to be sped up in Santiago's muscles?
00:03:13.321 --> 00:03:15.482
An ingested poison of some kind.
00:03:15.001 --> 00:03:18.001
Your Honor, we object at this point.
The witness is speculating.
