Medic shocks court by testifying HE killed ISIS fighter in Iraq - not the Navy SEAL on trial for murder

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Corey Scott testified that he is the one who killed the young ISIS militant that Edward Gallagher is accused of murdering

Gallagher is on trial in San Diego for a host of alleged war crimes

Among them is murdering the young militant who his comrades say he stabbed

He claims he opened his throat with a knife so he could breathe

The young fighter had a collapsed lung and he says he was trying to save him

Gallagher put breathing tube in his mouth but Scott said he put his thumb over it to kill him

He said he feared the teenager would be tortured to death by Iraqi forces if not

Scott had been called as a witness for the prosecution but stunned the court by saying he put his hands over the opening Gallagher created in the boy's neck

Scott had been granted immunity for his own crimes in exchange for cooperating with prosecution

#1 ....There were episodes of JAG that were more believable than this sequence of events. Everybody in the chain here, including the Navy lawyers, needs to update their resume, NOW.

Yeah, there are some JAG officers that will be reassigned pretty soon.

#3 Are you sure this *wasn't* an episode of JAG? It's got Made For TV written all over it.

#4 And that's all folks, mercy killing by the bloody MEDIC. If this wasn't a JAG episode, then it's in NCIS or LAW and ORDER. Good Lord, what a shitshow.

#5 Oh, don't forget the NCIS episode where he good doctor blamed himself for killing a captive when the torture was done by others.
