    Update for this mess. Seems to be moving along pretty quick for a case in the Philippines.

    That marine should have been stationed in Guantanamo marine barracks.

    It would be a real shock, I guess, to find out that the lovely lady he picked up that night, or she picked him up, whatever, had a c..k between her legs, but, surely that does not justify murder. Maybe the guy was already half pie eyed on booze and just lost it ?:(

    This brings up a point of curiosity, probably off topic, but I can't see the section this would fit in apart from controversial. My observations tell me there seems to be an unusually large number of lady boys in this Country. Excuse my ignorance on this topic, but is this exclusive to the Philippines that there is such a large number, or are they as prevalent in other Countries. I guess they are in Oz also, but I have not noticed.:confused:

    If he did the crime he should do the time and it will happen in a PI prison. I've been drunk but not that drunk, and if I knew it was a hummer I would just call it a late night.
