A death resulting from the commission of a felony is in almost every jurisdiction, murder. The prosecution's case was destroyed when their key witness flipped on them. The guy was granted immunity. He had nothing to lose by confessing to the crime and it got Gallagher off.

You don't want to see the obvious, but, not everyone is so willingly blind.
The coroner found no neck wounds. The Navy $#@!ed this case up. But the immediate commander had the authority to spread medals around and no higher officer has any business interfering. I never tolerated such nonsense.
