Trial transcript?
I don't begin to consider myself an expert on the Army and courts martial, but shouldn't someone have been taking down the testimony here? I know some kind of shorthand existed at the time, but I saw no one writing anything, not the members of the court sitting at the table, nor anyone sitting in the court gallery. (The only writing I remember is Hunter doodling trying to figure out the too-big buckskin jacket). Maybe it was a small detail that was overlooked, but it just seemed odd to me that a controversial trial like this could pass with no apparent written record.
