Kaffee:
name some reasons why a Marine would relieve a code red?
Cpl. Barnes:
[while on the witness stand]
being late for platoon or company meetings, keeping his barracks in disorder, falling back on a run.
Kaffee:
have you ever received a code red?
Cpl. Barnes:
yes sir, we were doing seven man assault drills and my weapon slipped. It was just so it was over a hundred degrees and my palms were sweaty and I forgot to use the resin like we were taught
Kaffee:
what happened?
Cpl. Barnes:
that night the guys in my squad threw a blanket over me, took turns punching me in the arm for five minutes, then they poured glue in my hands and it worked too because I ain't dropped my weapon since
Kaffee:
was Private Santiago late for platoon meetings?
Cpl. Barnes:
yes sir
Kaffee:
were his barracks ever in disorder?
Cpl. Barnes:
yes sir
Kaffee:
did he ever fall back on a run?
Cpl. Barnes:
all the time sir
Kaffee:
did "ever" prior to the night of September sixth ever receive a code red?
Cpl. Barnes:
no sir
Kaffee:
never?
Cpl. Barnes:
no sir
Kaffee:
you got a code red because your palms are sweaty
Kaffee:
why didn't Santiago, this burden to his unit, ever get one?
Cpl. Barnes:
Dawson wouldn't allow it sir
Kaffee:
[looking at the jury]
Dawson wouldn't allow it
Cpl. Barnes:
the guys talked tough about Santiago but they wouldn't go near him, they were too afraid of Dawson sir
Capt. Ross:
object, the witness is speculating
Kaffee:
I'll rephrase, Jeffery did you ever want to give Santiago a code red?
Cpl. Barnes:
yes sir
Kaffee:
why didn't you
