Judge Reid Kennedy allows recall of platoon member Thomas Tutner and notes potential testimony of an earlier shooting, while limiting evidence that could paint Calley as a madman. Witnesses from a high level briefing testified that women and children were killed in the My Lai assault, with questions about orders to kill or spare.
