so-called “moral waivers”

Got it, it's a made up media term to sell the bent of the writer.

The term "moral waiver" has been used in military regulations for years.

Going back another century or so, armies and navies took convicts out of prison and "impressed" (that is, kidnapped) idlers and neer-do-wells. Those were the days when sheer numbers could still win battles. Flogging was a standard punishment for disobedience or insubordination.

The Duke of Wellington supposedly said, "Ours [our army] is composed of the scum of the earth - the mere scum of the earth."

BTW, "A Few Good Men," while it was a Hollywood movie based on a Broadway play, was derived from an actual event that occurred in the 1980s.

One of the defendants in the real-life case, David Cox, was later found shot to death. The murder was never solved.

Through most of the 20th century judges would give young men who had gotten crosswise with the law the option of enlisting in the military or going to jail. It was only with the all-volunteer forces that the military could establish higher standards.

The defense nearly always waives the right to a speedy trial.

Otherwise the prosecution could put a dozen lawyers on the case and bury the defense in 60 days or whatever the statutory limit is.

Probably.

In Texas this would be capital murder regardless of the weapon, because it was murder committed in connection with another felony (robbery in this case).

- Jim

murder with use of a deadly weapon

Not to make light of this tragedy, but is murder with a deadly weapon worse than murder with bare hands or poison?
