I saw Breaker Morant over the weekend and (having previously
seen a part of the movie ) I realized that it was a story that
required careful attention.  Even so, I think that I missed 
something.

My question to the audience is :

if the reason for the trial was ostensibly to appease the 
Germans for having killed Hess (the preacher) then, why was
that the only charge that was dropped?
Or, why was the trial continued to such a final finale after
that charge was dropped?

inquisitively yours,
Peggy Broderick
