Article 32 hearing

But it wasn't provided, so I assumed that it didn't exist.

The first time I became aware of it was during Article 32 when I was on the stand.

And I was asked, did you take into account the statement of the survivor from that room? I stated, I'm peripherally aware that such a statement exists, but I've never seen it.

And they said, well, what does peripherally aware mean? And I said, well, I'd heard that there was a survivor and that there was a statement, but I requested it and I wasn't provided it.

He admits to perjuring himself.

That's right.

Now, when you testified at the Article 32 for Lance Corporal Tatum last month, you said, no, there was no one coming to fire.

Right? So, is this another thing that you lied about, or were you just mistaken? I did lie about that, sir.

And, um, you know, Aaron at that time was a 28-year-old unknown playwright.

Um, and she got the record of trial, and they had to, for the Article 32, and, and then he made a play out of it that, uh, ran on Broadway.

And then Rob Reiner, uh, bought the, uh, bought the playrights, uh, and made a movie, and the rest is history.

Anyone listening, you haven't seen the movie.

And I thought, "Hmm.

You know what? I think I'm gonna try, I'm gonna focus in on this school, uh, and do the best I can." I knew a little bit about, uh, UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 32 and all that stuff.

We've been trained as enlisted mens.

Here-

Your husband probably knows this.

Hmm.

And they would send me down there for, like, a month or two, and I would do all the Article 32 cases, because it was the Marines that were there that would get in trouble.

And, and then I would go back, and I wasn't on the list, I wasn't at the top of the list to go to Vietnam anymore.
