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.

    • Please join us in fighting to free Micheal and other soldiers who are the victims of unclear commands in times of war, the absence of commanders who will stand by them come what may; and above all the horror of punishments that do not fit the crime--and in many causes where no crime was committed at all.

    • Can we please get justice in this country? We send our fine fighting forces out to carry out the actions most Americans refuse to do, and then we mistreat them and withhold evidence? This is an outrage and a symptom of our decaying values. We need to allow a new trial, a just trial for this brave man!

    • His conviction is a travesty. The prosecution had a duty to turn the exculpatory evidence over to the defense.
