    Hey Madalina! The medical issue with Private Santiago was addressed in the movie. Lt. Caffey had the doctor read out loud on the stand his hand-written notes of Santiago's symptoms of fatigue and shortness of breath, that indicated he had a mild heart condition that could have sped up the lactic acidosis the same doctor said came from poison.

      They glossed over it with one line, Caffee said something like, " I don't know how he died, and I don't want to know." The unspoken logic underneath this is that it would have been difficult, expensive, and chancy to explore. Also, if they found evidence of poison or if they found nothing conclusive, it would have helped the prosecution.

  • @gluuuuue

    Kaffee's not stupid. At that first lunch meeting with Jessup, Kaffee wants to leave right away because he's smart enough to have read the subtext of Jessup's uncooperativeness right away, in the colonel's responses (and pointed lack thereof), intonation, and confident hostility behind his words. Staying around longer will only tip off to Jessup how he might react to that.
    Galloway (Demi Moore's character) doesn't get that. Or isn't that tactically-minded. She's passionate but not street smart. She wants to press Jessup right away, thinking she'll gain much more that's strategically useful that Kaffee knows they can probably get more easily elsewhere.
    Kaffee's apparent readiness to leave is also trying to lure Jessup into a momentary false sense of security, right before he adds that, based on Jessup's claims, there ought to be a paper trail of evidence of the order to transfer Santiago (which not only didn't yet exist but Kaffee should have started to suspect right away probably didn't exist if Jessup was just making it up). Kaffee uses that multiple times during the trial: catching witnesses contradicting their earlier statements and claims. It's why he has the talent for being the better trial lawyer than Galloway.
    Both Galloway and Dawson and Douney all suffer from being idealists in what they each believe. (It's their character strength but also their weakness since unrealistic and their idealism is used against them throughout the story.) Kaffee has the opposite problem. He's a very effective pragmatist. He understands the legal system is based on proof, evidence, irrespective of what one "knows the truth" to be. And he's sharp enough to see how unlikely the approach Galloway and his clients all wanted to take was. But he's too much of a pragmatist and unwilling to take risks where the odds are heavily stacked against him. In the end, Galloway and Weinberg were right, in that there are times in life when, in order to serve your own ideals, you need to take risks, and they manage to persuade Kaffee that this was one of those times.

    2:39 A few years after this movie came out a tv show called ‘JAG’ was launched. It followed a team of Judge Advocate General (JAG) officers in the Navy like these characters.
    The premise of the show was what if Tom Cruise’s characters from Top Gun and A Few Good Men were the same person. So we had a character named Harmon Rabb who was an Naval Aviator who became a lawyer!
    This actor playing the senior JAG officer in this scene is named John Jackson. Jackson played a supporting role on the JAG show as the Judge Advocate General ( or senior counsel) of the US Navy. He was Rabb’s boss.

      Bacon and Sedgwick deserve a lot of respect for being in "The Woodsman" (2004). Bacon played a child molester trying to redeem himself, and Sedgewick played his coworker/girlfriend. Very few theaters showed the film, which was praised very much by critics. I saw the film a few years ago, and it was quite powerful.

    In the US military you get training on what is an "Unlawful Order and a Lawful Order". Similar training to what is an "Armed Combatant and an UnArmed Combatant". Basically, the line for an unlawful order is very thin and there is no solid line to understanding what is unlawful, it is discretionary and can land either side in prison very quickly. This Unlawful Order can play out like this...
    You are on a battlefield and shooting down a street in a town, a woman comes out of a building with a rocket propelled grenade... think bazooka in the movies. Your command tells you to shoot her. You do, that is a lawful order because she had a bazooka, she was a "lawful combatant". Now that same battle is occurring and a woman comes out of a building without a weapon and you are ordered to shoot her, you don't because she is not "legally" a combatant. That is an "Unlawful Order", good luck telling the difference with bullets are flying.

    "The Princess Bride" is my favorite film. Watch it when you really need a pick-me-up in your attitude.
    Trials are different. Taking a look at that first day that you said "Went kind of fast", it did. They had allocated time for all the witnesses to testify that day, and after the first one did so Danny conceded that all the witnesses would testify the same way the first one did, and asked the prosecution to stipulate that none of them were in Dawson & Downey's room 20 minutes later. That eliminated the need to have all of them testify. The other witnesses that the trial needed weren't available because they weren't on the schedule for that day, so the judge dismissed the court.
    The medical information was covered when the doctor was on the stand. I can tell you that unless a person is diagnosed with a condition, is hospitalized for that condition, and dies in the hospital with that condition, it's very difficult to say WITH CERTAINTY that the person died of that condition. In this particular case, it is known that he died of lactic acidosis, but the reason why that acidosis occurred and continued was in doubt and could have been a number of things. As was said: For the purposes of the trial it didn't matter what the exact reason was, it only mattered that it didn't HAVE TO BE poison. As long as there was ANYTHING else it might have been, then that removes a big portion of the "intent to kill" portion of the accusation against Dawson & Downey.

    @Bissflix - To answer your question about the American legal system, in general, the short sessions are typically classified as hearings, the long ones are typically the actual trial. Hearings are typically one session and its objective is concluded by the end. Some hearings can be short as 5 minutes. A trial, however, can last as little as a few hours to days, weeks, or sometimes months, depending on its complexity. A case such as this, would have probably lasted a few weeks based on the number of witnesses.
    When a trial session convenes and concludes is that the complete discretion of the judge. The judge has full control over everything that happens within their courtroom.
    The reason lawyers wear suits is because they are required to wear suits based on the rules established by the respective judge of their courtroom. A lawyer that does not abide by the courtroom's dress code can be held in contempt, fined, or even sanctioned, depending on the severity of non-compliance.
    Everything mentioned here is for the court system for civilians. There could be technical differences for the military court system, but I think fundamentally there they are largely similar.

    The basic plot to this movie was inspired by a real life situation involving a cousin of the screen writer. She had joined the military and had just been assigned to the JAG Corps when they handed her a capital case. At first she was elated and excited to be "moving up" so quickly. Then she started thinking about it (and her musings were pretty much used in the movie): why would they give a capital case to a (essentially) green recruit when there were other more experienced litigators available in the office?

    56:43 This is a powerful and well acted monologue from Colonel Jessup. BUT he is talking to another military officer while saying it. Sure Caffey doesn’t serve in a combat role but he is another member of the US military. So he is also serving his country and doing his part to keep it safe.
    I loved later on when Caffey cursed him said “I’m a lawyer and an officer in the United States Navy”

      You can ask anything you want pretty much, you won't necessarily get a useful answer, but that might not always be the point.
      The question serves a purpose, not only does it put the question to the jury, so they are thinking it makes no sense, but also it is the first step in taunting Jessop. Caffey saw in the Cuba interaction that underneath Jessop was quick to anger and resentful at not being appreciated for what he did. Making him look foolish by slowly and painfully pulling apart the transfer off base lie, not dismissing him, asking for his statement to be read back etc were all done to goad him even more and ultimately get the full story that Jessop was dying to tell.

    One of the BEST aspects of this movie is the constant under-lying "Marine/Navy rivalry" going on, which is REAL. It isn't a flat out "hatred", but it is more like a feeling of superiority due to the military branch you are in. So, Marines come off as "feeling" superior to the Navy due to being more "hands-on approach" to combat. While the Navy comes off "feeling" superior due to a sense of "higher educated" due to fighting "using more technology".
    Because of this "Marine/Navy" vibe, ALL the conversations feel more like verbal "boxing matches" when in fact, they are pretty much everyday run-of-the-mill Marine/Navy "taking pot-shots at each other".

    They did infer that Santiago had a medical condition, a heart issue. Thus is why he had trouble physically with running and such. His heart condition aggravated the acidosis problem when the rags were put in his mouth. There was no poison on the rags.

As others have explained that the theory of poison was basically dispelled and his condition was the cause. The case brought this out and though not shown here (as that was not what movie was about) certainly was proven later.

    The guy behind the desk with the mustache in the beginning of the film is the Judge Advocate General (person in-charge of the entire JAG department of the military) in a tv show called JAG. It's from the 90's and some of the footage is pretty cringe for nowadays but it's worth watching. May be best to watch on your own time though as it's a tv show and has I think 9 or 10 seasons.

    The U.S. military currently considers diabetes to be a disqualifying health condition. One thing you have to realize is when kaffey asked for the transfer order there are 7 to 9 instances where he didn't say colonel at the beginning of a sentence or sir at the end of a sentence which has nothing to do about power but is considered disrespectful in the military. Every officer in the military would've been insulted and pissed, good officers and bad.

    Regarding the non-intuitive pronunciation of colonel: Apparently, we got the word from the French at a time when the word was "coronel," so that's the pronunciation we took -- but a bit later, the French changed their word to "colonel." English followed along with the spelling change, but kept the original pronunciation. And the pronunciation has also drifted a bit further since then.

  • @RobertLesliePalmer
    @RobertLesliePalmer 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I served as an attorney in the U.S. Army JAG Corps, so I can answer some of your questions. First, most military lawyers receive direct commissions, meaning that they are appointed without prior military training or service. Consequently, there is less discipline among JAG officers than officers in combat arms (Infantry, Armor, Field Artillery, etc.). For the same reason, those line officers sometimes view JAG officers with disdain. The movie seems to imply that the character played by Tom Cruise received a direct commission. However, some JAG attorneys are appointed to the JAG Corps after other military training and/or service. I fall into this latter category, and actually earned my Airborne (paratrooper) wings. I was commissioned through ROTC and only later received a JAG appointment. .Military judges are also real attorneys. Some of the comments made by Jack Nicholson's character would never be tolerated in the military, and most officers and enlisted personnel act with respect and professionalism. The friendship between the characters portrayed by Tom Cruise and Kevin Bacon is not far-fetched. When I served as an Army trial counsel (prosecutor), my best friend was a defense counsel. We fought hard against each other in court, but outside of court were good friends. By the way, I went to law school in Washington, D.C. at Georgetown University, so I am familiar with many of the locations in the movie. You remarked that you wanted some seafood when Tom Cruise and Demi Moore were eating seafood. I recognized the restaurant and have eaten there. If you have any questions, post them in reply and I will answer, to the extent that I can (I served in the Army, not the Navy).
