#OTD in 1920 – Countess Markievicz was court-martialed by the British administration.
She had been held in Mountjoy since her arrest at Rathmines on 26th September. The proceedings took place at the Royal Barracks (now Collins Barracks). Her close friends Dr. Kathleen Lynn, Maud Gonne MacBride and Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington were permitted to attend but under strict conditions. Markievicz was charged with conspiring to ‘organise and promote’ Fianna Éireann for the purposes of…

  I wish I had the international negotiating skills half my timeline seems to have right now. They seem to think they could've done better -- or that their "guy" could've done better; even though he was best pals with Vladdy, and didn't bring home a certain Marine. (A former Marine who -- by the way -- was court-martialed and received a Bad Conduct discharge after being convicted of multiple counts of larceny, dereliction of duty, identity fraud, false statements, and check fraud.)   Never mind that the two prisoners being held in Russia were being held for very different reasons -- drug possession vs. spying. Never mind that our negotiators tried to obtain a three-for-one trade for Viktor Bout. Never mind that, many times, you have to take what the other side will give you.   But, hey; what do I know?

Fans celebrate the casting of Nichelle Nichols as Uhura as a moment for actors of color, which they should be.
But I also wanted to spotlight the casting of these iconic guest starring characters, seen in episodes of TOS.

Percy Rodriguez was cast as flag officer Commodore Stone, who was Kirk's superior in the chain of command. Stone is one of the officers that presides over Kirk's court martial.

Booker Bradshaw was the original Dr. M'Benga, seen in two episodes of TOS. at the time, M'Benga was Starfleet's first and only medical specialist in Vulcan Physiology, having spent a year's residency on Vulcan.

One of the finest minds in computer technology in the 23rd century, and creator of the duotronic computer, Dr. Richard Daystrom, was played by William Marshall, whose work in Shakespeare, and his roles as Paul Robeson and Frederick Douglass, added to the gravitas of his portrayal.
A flag officer, a specialist in Vulcan medicine, and one of the finest minds in a field of technology, played by actors of color, during the turbulent 1960s.

July 1862. From the moment he took office, Lincoln's Judge Advocate General, Joseph Holt, conducted an endless stream of legal reviews that came under his authority. After careful analysis, reconsideration, and review, he wrote detailed reports and consulted President Lincoln. Based on the evidence presented, President Lincoln decided whether to pardon or commute soldiers’ sentences.

For Lincoln, not all crimes were equal. His decisions regarding military justice blended his relationship with soldiers and court-martial documents. He weighed all the factors, internal and external to the case. He issued reprieves for sleeping sentinels. During Lincoln’s watch no sleeper faced execution. When it came to desertion, Lincoln’s decisions underwent transformation. In the first two years of fighting, according to author Thomas Lowry, the president reprieved seventy-seven percent of those convicted. In the final fury of warfare the second two years, Lincoln softened, remitted, or mitigated a much greater number, ninety-five percent of cases. His compassion extended to exhausted soldiers who fell asleep, drunken privates who violated military discipline, and desperate men who left to feed starving families. [Source: Thomas P. Lowry, Don’t Shoot That Boy! Abraham Lincoln and Military Justice, Savas Publishing Company, Mason City, 1999]

Quick Thought – Saturday, July 30, 2022: Miscarriage of Justice

Psalm 37:28 Reflect So often we hear stories that we wish were true, but aren’t. Then there are the stories that we wish weren’t true, but are. This is one of those stories. Some of you might be familiar with the tragic tale of the USS…

#OTD in 1920 – After 74 days on Hunger Strike in Brixton Prison, England, the Sinn Féin Lord Mayor of Cork, Terence MacSwiney died.
Following his court-martial in August 1920, Terence MacSwiney, the Lord Mayor of Cork, greeted his sentence of two years in prison by declaring: ‘I have decided the term of my imprisonment: I shall be free, alive or dead, within a month.’ Four days earlier, British troops had stormed the City Hall in Cork and arrested MacSwiney on charges of sedition and he was imprisoned in Brixton Prison in…
