C.O. Richard Noveck:
Richard Noveck couldn't have been more stupid. Not only did he have Lt. Mazzella Burrows shot down over North Korea, he'd also raped her the day before he sent her on the mission. And now she was suing him. And to make matters worse, she was no longer in the Navy, she was in the Army. He had tracked her down at Fort Marshal & confronted her, but that didn't mean she couldn't get away & the reporters had been right behind him. Neither of them had wanted to talk to reporters, so she had stormed off & he had left in his car.
But the next day, he got his chance at retribution. He tried to kill her Attorney while he was on his way to the Base for her Court Martial hearing. He let him continue to the Court House & enter the building. He never thought Mazzella would come out of the court house with her bleeding Attorney. He also never thought there would be so many reporters covering her Court Martial. And he certainly never though she'd speak to the reporters about him or why she wasn't deploying. But she did. And his career was over within a matter of seconds after the questions were asked.
