You told me they'd get a fair trial. What kind of trial could they have possibly had? Admiral Helena Cain:
I assure you I heard them out. I weighed their statements against those of the guards and I took into consideration their service records and commendations. It was a difficult decision Commander, but I dare say it was a fair one. Commander William Adama:
They have the right to have their case heard by a jury! Admiral Helena Cain:

Commander, why are you launching Vipers? Commander William Adama:
Please arrange for Chief Tyrol and Lieutenant Agathon to be handed over to my marines as soon as they arrive. Admiral Helena Cain:
