Mrs. Claire Blackman, the wife of Sgt Alexander Blackman of the Royal Marines (whose case is to be heard this week by the Courts Martial Appeal Court):
“They [the seven members of the court-martial board] were all senior officers, and he is a senior NCO, a non-commissioned officer. A civilian jury would have had a better understanding of the situation from a more neutral and equitable starting point. Rank does not play a part in a civilian jury.”
