garrett must have flashed that big smile because a young afghan boy waved at garrett. garrett waved back and held up a small mint for the boy to have. the boy walked up slowly, took the mint, and ran to his father to show him what the americans had given him. garrett watched in horror as dad beat the tar out of his son. he kicked him, he punched him, he knocked him senseless. garrett wanted to shoot but he could not. he got back to base and asked the old-timers, what the heck happened? why did that boy get beat for this small mint? the old-timers told him, al aeda was watching. when we left, they may go to that man's home, kill the father, the mother, the sisters, the brothers, that was a plea from the father, don't kill my family. my boy did wrong taking that small mint. garrett knew he was no longer fighting for america. he was fighting for people all over the world who craved freedom. a final story says everything about garrett. when he enlisted as a junior in high school, austin travels -- austin high school, a bulldog he, told his best friend, i've done it. i have

garrett -- they wanted ms. garrett.s what they told the trial court and the trial court relied upon that in denying the batson motion. ms. garrett was on the definite no list. she was on each of the strike lists. ms. garrett was never in the running to be on this jury. but they represented to the court that because another african-american, shirley powell was excused for cause -- there were five african-americans in the veneer at the start one said turns out i know somebody in the family. she was excused for cause. the prosecutor implied clearly that had it not been for that extra strike that ms. garrett would have sat. at the same time -- and they're still arguing this both ways that they wanted her and didn't want her. they give 11 reasons for why ms. garrett would not be a good juror. that she's imp you denu that she's imp you dendent and respect the court. those things are not really valid in terms of the reasons, because the reasons they gave here, many were democra false. lastly and what's so important, they diffe
