  • Christian "Kit" Martin was a highly decorated US Army Major, and he had been going through a difficult divorce, one which led to a court martial. When something horrible happens to the witnesses for that court martial, friends of his bitter ex-wife, all eyes would turn to Kit Martin. A few years later, in court, would we learn the truth?

      In the last few decades solely circumstantial cases have been more and more prominent. Reasonable doubt used to mean what it does. The way verdicts go since the turn of the century is scary. Every jury is automatically contaminated now due to social media and "News" from one's phone.
      Cases like this one should never be brought and should terrify everyone.

    Usually after hearing or reading about a specific case, I can reach a conclusion as to the defendant's guilt or innocence. However, this is one of the few cases in which I can't reach a decision. Both the prosecution and the defense have good arguments and decent evidence. In my opinion, the prosecution didn't prove beyond a _reasonable doubt_ that he's guilty. If Kit Martin hasn't appealed yet, he absolutely should.

To me the shell casing found on the porch 5 months later and his dog tags left at the scene we so blatantly planted that it was ludicrous. I think it boiled down to the fact that the jury just didn’t like the guy. That he came across to them as cocky. I’m not saying he’s Captain America but I don’t believe he’s a murderer either.

    While I can't speak to anything in regards to this guy's case, guilt or innocence, I can say something about the dog tags. My husband was enlisted in the Army for 15 years. They had to carry dog tags in multiple pockets of their ACUs (their camo uniform) and because of that, we had over a dozen copies of his dog tags, still do after he got out. Dog tags are a dime a dozen in a military household, so of everything the defense claimed was planted, those would be the least difficult.

    Interesting note: up until 2015, ID Tags (dog tags) had your ssn on them, and it was, from what I've heard from friends still on active duty at the time, a slow transition getting reassigned new ones with the new id number. I was very protective of my tags--kept them on the hanger for whatever uniform I'd be wearing the next day, and I sure as hell wouldn't accidentally leave them at a crime scene. They are on a long neck chain, supposed to be worn under the shirt, and it takes a very deliberate action to remove them. They were basically my ss card on my neck, and I treated them as such. "Finding" them at the crime scene, to me, is a red flag visible from space.

      Presumably you've never murdered three people then had to move bodies and clean up a crime scene against the clock. That's exactly the kind of unusual, high pressure, one-off situation in which a killer could do something dumb with his dog tags. The defence then twisted that balls-up by Martin, and used it to suggest he'd been framed by his ex wife.
      There's no way his petite ex killed three people (who were loyal friends of hers, btw), and then moved two corpses, and set fire to them inside a vehicle. She'd have needed help. It was Martin who hated those people for supporting his ex, and he was more than capable of the crime, moving the bodies etc. I believe his partner gave him a false alibi - and when they acrimoniously divorce, as they surely will (his relationships with women end badly), she may admit it!
      Police clearly found no evidence pointing to anyone else. Christian Martin's guilty AF - the victims were so afraid of him in the last weeks of their life after noticing him watching their house, that they got firearms training. He was a military man with a history of abuse - they were right to be scared. Their last moments alive as he confronted them with a gun in their home then murdered them, are horrific to contemplate. Glad their loved ones, who so bravely spoke out and pointed the finger at Martin, finally got justice for them.

      The ex wife wasn't a suspect, because there was no evidence against her! You talk as if the police are idiots.
      Do you seriously believe a petite woman would murder three people (who were her loyal, supportive friends btw), then move two of their bodies, and set fire to them in a vehicle? If she was the killer, she'd have just left the bodies at the house.
      Women very rarely commit violent crimes, and when they do they get caught precisely because it's so unusual. Christian Martin is guilty - the victims saw him watching their home in the weeks before they were killed, and they were so scared of him they got firearms training. They were right to be afraid! Their loved ones and an impartial jury who heard all the evidence, believe he did it. So do I!

      @@glamdolly30 Most women don't commit bigamy which is a crime. Most don't threaten to ruin a man's life because he wants to divorce her (not that they were really married.) Most don't make false police reports, also a crime. Most do not coach their kids to pretend to be abused by target of her ruination. Most don't instigate court-martial procedures against their military partners, following through on her threats to ruin him.
      Clearly Joan isn't like most. She got firearms training right before 3 people close to her were found shot dead. That alone is reason enough to consider her as a possible suspect. She's also got an adult son who could lift a body or two for her as well as at least 2 boyfriends, one named Stokes, the brother of a police crime scene investigator who had to recuse himself from searching the house of Joan's neighbor and other dead boyfriend Calvin when the murders were discovered.
      Mother Joan and adult son both took the 5th when they were subpoenaed to testify against Martin so as not to incriminate themselves. Martin took the stand in his own defense.

      @@thecourtlyalchemist Your assumptions Joan's accusations of abuse against Martin are false are only that - assumptions. She was a bigamist, but that doesn't automatically make her guilty of the other, far more serious crimes you allude to, including three murders!
      Your other assumption, that police did not consider and dismiss her as a suspect in those murders, is even more far fetched.
      Armchair detectives are always so quick to believe the police are incompetent or corrupt!
      Nor can Martin's innocence be assumed by the fact he took the stand in his defence. His TV interview suggested he was a narcissist with total faith in his ability to manipulate others' opinion of him. No doubt he believed he could charm the jury. He comes across as a high functioning, highly plausible and ruthless psychopath. I believe his partner may some day admit she gave him a false alibi for the murders.

    • @thecourtlyalchemist
      @thecourtlyalchemist 3 года назад +1

      @@glamdolly30 No one on the outside knows if there was abuse, but everyone is in agreement that there is no evidence of abuse. Calvin Phillips is on tape saying that Joan never mentioned any abuse, and that he never saw any abuse, and never saw any evidence of abuse. Martin's first wife said Martin was never abusive. The policeman called out by Joan to take a report of domestic violence and abuse testified under oath that he saw no evidence of abuse. He did witness Joan coaching her kid to lie about being abused. The judge threw out the abuse case based on a lack of evidence.
      Joan also accused her first husband of being abusive, but also said he was dead (from decapitation) which he is not. Joan seems like a terrible person. She has a credibility problem which is why no one in their right mind believes her abuse claims. She is a very poor actress too. None of this makes her a murderer. Having murdered someone would make her a murderer. Setting someone up for a murder they didn't commit and life in prison- that might only make her a monster.

      Same. People in the comments say, that she and her son pleaded the Fifth and the jury wasn't allowed to know that they did. I don't know if he did it or not, but he looked done with life when the verdict was read out.
      And that what the kids of the victims told, could have been bias because Joan was talking so much shit and lies about him.
      I didn't like that he talked badly about the husband victim but on the other hand I would like to know if it is the truth.
      That murder seems very chaotic. Police also don't know who was killed first, because two of the victims are burnt. If Joan really had an affair with him, it would make sense for her, to get rid of him. Because Christian could ask about the affair in court, and further destroy her reputation.
      If she is responsible for the murders, she hired someone (telling them they get the cut of the money she is about to earn from the military) and they messed it up. If it is like that, then lol, she will be afraid for her life for the rest of her life. Either that the hired killers get her for not paying or that Christina gets her for destroying his life.

      It’s called law-enforcement. They decide from the very beginning who they think needs to go down and then they work on making evidence fit their narrative. The prosecutor is in on it and they can make it happen.

      Semantics games are fun. This is the justice gap, women are 60% less likely to get arrested, charged, convicted as a man for the exact same crime and circumstances. As well as recurve 40% less when it comes to sentencing, if they ever make it to that point

      Didn't the ex-wife try to unlock a phone of one of the victims? She tried taking it to a cell phone store and it just happened to be the same type that was missing, then it just showed up. Same with the dog tags just happen to show up, and a bullet casing in pristine shape despite being in the elements for months.
      The legal system in this country is terrifying, people go to jail for years only to get released years later after DNA or some other means proves innocence. Your life could be destroyed all because a detective on your case skips a few steps so they can get home on time.

      ​@@davidketterer2282 It would definitely be interesting to hear from her kids, but polygraphs aren't anywhere *near* as reliable as they're made out to be (which is why they aren't/can't be submitted to a court as evidence) All they do is give readouts of a person's bodily functions/rates, and, depending upon the person, how they react under stressful conditions like a polygraph test, things like heart-rate, skin conductivity, breathing depth and rate, will all vary. A hypothetical illustration:
      - A guy's wife accuses him of cheating on her. He did so Once in the past, and she swore that if he ever cheated on her again, she'd divorce him, take the kids, ruin his reputation, destroy his business, render him destitute, the whole nine yards. But, he's now a Totally Reformed character: Found Jesus, turned over a new leaf etc, and in this hypothetical situation, he 100% has NOT cheated on her. Totally Innocent. She's mistaken, paranoid, whatever the reason may be, but, in this hypothetical situation, he absolutely Has Not Cheated on her (since he turned over a new leaf) So she insists that he take a polygraph test to prove his innocence, and, if he fails, she is going to do all those things mentioned. Under such conditions, even if he tells the Absolute Truth, this guy is almost *guaranteed* to fail the test, because he will be so nervous about the repurcussions if he were to fail, that every time he's asked one of those 'high stakes' questions, his autonomic functions will spike and give readings which the polygraph operator is almost guaranteed to read, as someone lying.
      They 'work', in so much as they give a real-time readout of person's rates, and they're great for shows like Jerry Springer, but they really can't Tell if a person is actually being honest or not. I've heard it said that someone who is lying, but is completely calm about the fact that they are lying, is more likely to pass, than the innocent person, who is worried about the situation itself. If someone's innocent And calm, they've got as good a chance of passing as someone who's lying and calm. But if they're in any way nervous (and given the stakes usually involved in polygraph situations, chances they will be) almost *guaranteed* to fail the test... O_O

    When i see a case involving a military employee with high clearance, involved in highly classified action going down in a civilian case with evidence that seems iffy, my first assumption is that there's a military reason. Something that, for whatever reason, couldn't be handled by military courts, but it was decided that this guy needs to be discredited and locked away for something he did or knows. The guy had classified, privileged information on CD, at home, and on his private computer. This screams foreign asset to me. An active army ranger would probably know better. Seems that way to me anyway.

      I figure Sometimes you just got a real person that can't be trusted with their knowledge, but who isn't exactly an enemy. You can't just kill American citizens, so discredit and confine seems like the sort of gentle compromise they'd come up with.
      Think about it this way. He's a guy who had some rank who now has no prospects and a grudge against the military. And he's already been caught taking confidential info home once, against regs. I'm kinda surprised he didn't just accidently die in a ditch somewhere. cold war had to end sometime lol
