Your guess would be absolutely correct; there would be no names. My lack of evidence does not preclude the possibility that my theory is correct, it just prevents from proving it which I would never claim. Any theory should be based upon a reasonable assumption at the least. from that point, one attempts to examine the whole picture of an incident. One way of doing so is to capture the persona of the witness, his or her motivation for testifying as they do, then draw reasonable conclusions based on common sense.
There was a period of time in our history when a first degree homicide conviction was impossible without locating the body. Look what has transpired in the last couple of decades, numerous individuals are awaiting their introduction to the twilight zone although a corpse was not part of the evidence presented.
this turn of events are a result of society's critical recognitions that as police technology grows so does man's ability to commit heinous and clever crimes like never before.
I earnestly repeat, I do not take any pleasure in called a man a "liar" be he dead or alive. I do believe the officers lied/stretched the truth/had selective memory/fear retaliation from a commanding officer/and or were induced to participate in the above.
Why? For the honor of the military which suffered condemnation and censure from a public that was still tired and stinging from 4 horrible years of horrendous warfare. A public that had the same mis-trust for a standing army as it did its police officers. A public who, sadly, regarded the American Indian as inhuman savages and, could not accept the reality of defeat by these heathens. Therefore, someone had to be at fault for this national disgrace.
Who better than Custer and his whole command who lay molding on the battlefield for several tears. men lie when properly motivated to preserve their personal honor from scrutiny. No az, I have no names on a list. I simple have common sense and a realization that the inquiry was so packed with convoluted mis-information that something was truly amiss. |
