[Infowars] Head said he wanted to question Watada regarding the agreement to gain a better understanding of what Watada’s state of mind was when he signed the agreement, but Watada’s attorney Eric Seitz would not allow the judge to question his client unless he knew the questions in advance. Head said if he could not question Watada to ensure the accuracy of the document he signed prior to the start of the court-martial, he would have to throw out the agreement, meaning the charges against Watada would become null and void.
