The defense is prepping the public and potential jury pool for a diminished capacity argument upon sentencing. If they get a judge similar in judicial thought to the article 32 officer, expect him to get a slap on the wrist and an ARCOM. However, if he runs into one of my peers currently siting on the bench.....he better start storing up some "soap on a rope".
