The wife of a former Navy SEAL, now on trial for the murder of a teenage member of ISIS while he served in Iraq in 2017, said she believes the government's prosecution is finally being revealed as "vile and corrupt."

Two days after a shocking twist in the trial of former Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher, his wife, brother and lawyer sat down with "Good Morning America" to say they anticipate Eddie Gallagher will be found completely innocent.

"I feel great after a week of listening to the government's witnesses," Andrea Gallagher told "GMA." "I feel more confident than ever that my husband will finally get his day in court and get the ability to prove his innocence.

On Thursday, Special Operator 1st Class Corey Scott revealed for the first time that he saw Gallagher stab the ISIS prisoner in 2017, but said it was himself who suffocated the teen to death, describing it as an act of mercy.

Scott had been granted immunity, and prosecutor Lt. Brian John asked if he was taking responsibility to prevent Gallagher from going to prison, according to The Associated Press.

"Yes," he answered.

1. She sounds like a very sharp tool ... (nt)

2. So how does Chief Gallagher explain stabbing a wounded POW, again?

So how does Chief Gallagher explain stabbing a wounded POW, again?

That alone is - at least - attempted murder.

We know he's not Hugh Thompson; sure sounds like Rusty Calley, however.

3. His defense claims that he was trying to open up the prisoner's air passage,

So that he could get a breathing tube in.

His wife wants to see vile, well vile is harming a defenseless person, even if a few minutes earlier that person was an active combatant.

8. Stabbing vis a vis a tracheotomy?

Stabbing vis a vis a tracheotomy?

Yeah, okay ... whole thing sounds hinky as shit.

9. That is what they are claiming. The knives those guys carry can easily

Open up someone for a medical procedure, without much pressure being applied to the knife. I think Gallager is a simple murderer who is trying to hide behind the procedures that his job required him to do.

10. I haven't seen the evidence, but your opinion certainly seems reasonable...

Again, Hugh Thompson he is not. Is he Rusty Calley? Remains to be seen.

4. At this point I don't believe Gallagher is innocent.

5. How is the wife able to go on TV and discuss this ongoing trial?

If the jury is sequestered maybe it won't matter. But if not, her discussing it could get it declared a mistrial.
