You testified earlier you believed he died as a result 538 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,480 of the fall. 539 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,100 That's right, sir. How do you know? 540 00:32:44,910 --> 00:32:48,090 It was 55 feet, sir. That's an assumption, Petty Officer. 541 00:32:48,370 --> 00:32:49,650 It's a pretty good one, sir. 542 00:32:51,430 --> 00:32:52,870 Defense Exhibit A, Your Honor. 543 00:32:53,090 --> 00:32:56,610 Petty Officer McDonald's autopsy report, which indicates not only internal 544 00:32:56,610 --> 00:32:59,230 injuries, but significant blood loss from his wound. 545 00:33:00,170 --> 00:33:03,290 I'm not sure I understand your point, sir. The government has a similar 546 00:33:03,290 --> 00:33:04,290 question, Your Honor. 547 00:33:04,510 --> 00:33:06,050 Enlighten us, Commander, or move on. 548 00:33:06,290 --> 00:33:07,790 Defense Exhibit B, Your Honor. 549 00:33:08,690 --> 00:33:12,470 A comparison of GPS positions recorded by Lieutenant Teague. 550 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,180 The first indicates where Petty Officer Medano fell, the second where his body 551 00:33:16,180 --> 00:33:18,500 was later recovered. There's a 90 -meter difference. 552 00:33:18,780 --> 00:33:19,780 Your Honor, objection. 553 00:33:20,140 --> 00:33:24,360 Special Ops commands refusal to grant Lieutenant Teague's request to go back, 554 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,260 sir, is based on the assumption that Petty Officer Medano died in the fall. 555 00:33:28,460 --> 00:33:32,080 There was evidence to suggest that he did indeed survive the fall, sir. They 556 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,200 crawled towards some nearby rocks to seek cover and await rescue. 557 00:33:35,620 --> 00:33:39,040 Are you arguing that it's more likely Soxhead would have allowed Bravo 1 to 558 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,040 retrieve the Petty Officer had they known he was alive? 559 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,600 Yes, sir, I am.
