Most of the evidence is stacked against Childers, especially because Sokal is determined for him to be convicted and, at one point, burns a videotape of security camera footage showing that the crowd had indeed been in possession of weapons, supporting Childers' claims. He also blackmails the ambassador Childers rescued, Ambassador Mourain (Ben Kingsley), into lying on the stand and saying both that the crowd had been peaceful and that Childers had been violent towards him and his family during the evacuation. However, at the trial, Hodges presents a shipping manifest proving that a tape from an undamaged camera which had been looking directly into the crowd—the tape Sokal had burned—has been delivered to Sokal's office, but has failed to show up at the trial, arguing that this tape would have been damning evidence against Childers if it had, in fact, shown the crowd was unarmed. Also, when the prosecution presents the Vietnamese colonel who witnessed Childers execute a POW in Vietnam, Col. Cao, as a rebuttal witness (generally in violation of Rule 404 of the Rules of Evidence concerning character evidence, which prohibits evidence of a person's character or character trait to prove that, on a particular occasion, the person acted in accordance with the character or trait; Rule 404 is applicable to military courts, however), Hodges cross-examines him and gets him to testify that, had the circumstances been reversed, he would have done the same thing.watch more
