P.S. I saw a true crime show about a soldier on a weekend pass who was found stabbed to death -- and who was given a dishonorable discharge for being AWOL! His family had a followup autopsy done, but the time of death could not be determined. Bad news? Quite the opposite.

The family used the autopsy report to argue that since it couldn't be proved that the soldier's death DIDN'T take place BEFORE the weekend pass ran out, the military HAD to presume his innocence. The soldier was awarded an honorable discharge with all the posthumous trimmings!
