Critical evidence was withheld by prosecutors during the trial of 1LT Michael Behenna. If you believe that soldiers who fight for our constitutional rights, the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty, the right to due process of law and the right to a fair trial, we ask you to sign this petition requesting a new trial. During 1LT Behennas trial the government withheld evidence that their own forensic expert told them that in his opinion the only logical explanation for the shooting was consistent with the defense theory that the Al Qaeda terrorist was standing with his arms outstretched when the first shot was fired and not sitting on a rock as argued by the prosecutors. We believe that the prosecutors had a constitutional obligation to provide this evidence to the defense lawyers and the jury had the right to hear all the evidence before deliberating on the guilt or innocence of this soldier. Please help us obtain justice for this American Hero.

    • 1LT Behenna deserves the consideration for a new trial. Why is one of our own being denied Due Process? Isn't he entitled to it, just like every other American?

    • I have always believed that the American Justice system was fair, but given the events of this case I can no longer trust it. 1LT Michael Behenna deserves a retrial because of the sloppy and unjust work of the prosecution. He should not be in jail based on the evidence presented at the very last minute, but both the prosecution and the judge failed to allow it into the trial. If we as a nation value the pillars of justice that we promote throughout the world, then we must stay true to those pillars and give this hero a new trial.
