Will the agonizing aftermath of My Lai never end? Last week the court-martial of Captain Ernest L. Medina, Lieut. William Galley's superior officer, pressed painfully on. It seemed less and less likely that anyone would ever know for sure who was responsible for what on the bloody day of March...
...16th day of the trial. Confident and jaunty, talking in Army argot ("40 mike mikies," "four deuces," "BMNT") for the benefit of the five battle-tested jurors, Medina denied that he had been on the scene of the massacre. He also denied that he had told his men, as Galley had claimed during his own court-martial, to kill everything, including women and children; he said he had merely told them to "use common sense."

Medina, is in the second week of his long-awaited court-martial. Army prosecutors are attempting to convict Medina of command responsibility for what went on in the ill-fated village. Relaxed and apparently unconcerned as the men who once served under him take the stand to testify for the prosecution, Medina passes his courtroom time drawing doodles of the newsmen covering his trial. As Medina and Calley await the results of the legal proceedings against them...
