6. The judges that sit on that court aren't DoD. I know that. They are outside the chain

I also knew that it was the defense team that pushed the claim that a statute of limitations existed and that he could not be court martialed for these crimes.

They still overturned standing precedent and established a 5 year statute of limitations where none existed previously.

The effect of which was to keep this asshole from being Court Martialled.

So it was a distinction. Granted

I suppose I owe them an apology for calling them a DoD court just because all their cases involve the DoD.

He was convicted of crimes while in uniform, which I believe is grounds to revisit his retirement The Polack MSgt Jul 2020 #10

I hope they can stop the pension, maybe demand repayment. JustABozoOnThisBus Jul 2020 #11
