Openning statement for the posecution in A Few Good Men: The facts of the case are these: At midnight on August 6th, the defendants went into the barracks room of their platoon-mate, PFC William Santiago. They woke him up, tied his arms and legs with rope, and forced a rag into his throat. A few minutes later, a chemical reaction in Santiagos body called lactic acidosis caused his lungs to begin bleeding. He drowned in his own blood and was pronounced dead at 32 minutes past midnight. These are the facts of the case. And they are undisputed. Thats right. The story I just told you is the exact same story youre going to hear from Corporal Dawson, and its the exact same story youre going to hear from Private Downey. Furthermore, the Government will also demonstrate that the defendants soaked the rag with poison, and entered Santiagos room with motive and intent to kill. Now, Lt. Kaffee, is gonna try to pull off a little magic act, hes gonna try a little misdirection. Hes going to astonish you with stories of rituals and dazzle you with official sounding terms -- like Code Red. He might even cut into a few officers for you. Hell have no evidence, mind you, none. But its gonna be entertaining. When we get to the end, all the magic in the world will not have been able to divert your attention from the fact that Willy Santiago is dead, and Dawson and Downey killed him. These are the facts of the case. And they are undisputed.
