A U.S. Army soldier has been charged with first degree murder after he returned home to find another man in his home with his wife.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jermain Mealy, 31 is stationed at Fort Polk, LA but was away training in Texarkana, TX. On Friday night the police were called out to Mealy’s home in Hinesvine, GA, where his wife resides, for a burglary call. On Saturday, Mealy deicide to drive from Texas to Georgia to check on his home.
Around 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, the Hinesville Police Department responded the Mealy’s home and found 41-year-old Nathanial Brown, Jr. shot multiple times in the chest and stomach.
According to WTOC, a preliminary investigation has revealed that a fight broke out between Mealy and brown before the shots were fired.
Brown was rushed to the Liberty Regional Medical Center but was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A fellow soldier and close friend of Mealy, Charles Duke has come forward in defense of Mealy and his character. Duke was stationed at Hunter Army Airfield and deployed to Iraq with Mealy. He told WTOC that they have become very close over the last ten years.
According to Duke, Mealy has only been married to his current wife for three years and has two children from a previous marriage at Fort Polk.
Duke went on to say, “regardless of the situation that is happening, we need to tell the truth and make sure that we are honest and we are not doing this with any other intentions but to make sure that the right story gets told.”
He wants everyone to know that “Mealy is a good man who he trusts and will always love until the end of his days. He does not want his image to always be a negative one and wants to make sure the truth is told when it comes to this story.”
Mealy is scheduled to have a bond hearing today at the Liberty County Jail.

MAJ Patrick Hairston CISSP, AWS Certified Cloud Architect I'm with you on this one.
Wow, this is the second time today I get to use Kipling:
If the wife should go wrong with a comrade, be loath
To shoot when you catch 'em -- you'll swing, on my oath! --
Make 'im take 'er and keep 'er: that's Hell for them both,
An' you're shut o' the curse of a soldier.
Curse, curse, curse of a soldier . . .

He should be covered under act of passion laws.. Therefore, admissible to the fact that he probably wasn't in his correct state of mind and shouldn't be charged with murder.

If that would have happened to me, I don't know what I'd do exactly. What I can say for sure is that dude would not make it out of the house in one piece. I would see red, Fists would clench, and I would proceed to destroy him mercilessly.
Then I would pick up my wife, take her outside, and deposit her calmly next to the rest of the trash.

He had to go get the gun and then shoot. Not a crime of passion either way he has no retirement and U.S. Cooked

The reasonable person could easily be upset by this. If a fight broke out as said, it is even more likely that this will be Voluntary Manslaughter at best. And depending on where the altercation was, there might be a Castle Doctrine argument for Self-Defense depending on the circumstances and Georgia's statutes. Retrieving a gun, by itself, is not considered a period of cooling off. So it would likely still be viewed as a "crime of passion" in the sense that he won't get convicted of First Degree Murder.

We all know she will get out due to the trauma and get paid for the rest of her days. She might get adultery charges and lose rank first.

She may be the real problem, but no matter what he didn't have the right to take his life.

Sgt Kelli Mays - you're absolutely right, however I fail to see how your comment and mine have anything to do with each other. The bottom line is that if she was doing the right thing then I'm pretty sure that this discussion would not be taking place. That's the point I'm trying to make.
