Summary: Listen to the show here. On this week’s show, Dan interviews Bob Scott, a solicitor advocate who represented Marine C. They discuss the Court Martial, give some background as to how it works and why it exists, and briefly talk about Marine A’s sentencing (prior to the hearing). Lyndon and Kim discuss the decision of the Divisional Court to dismiss the application for judicial review against the decision of the Judge Advocate General to lift the anonymity order (basically, to name Marine A as Sgt Blackman) and the reasons given for imposing a life sentence with a minimum term of 10 years. Many thanks to Bob.
