[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3249092, member: 40091"] Military justice, OFTEN is justice at all. Also, misconduct by CID, OSI, NCIS and JAG is standard operating procedure. Had the charges been brought by the Command, I might agree with you. Its very rare when charges are brought by subordinates for fear of retribution. So when 6 of the most damaging charges were brought by subordinates, there is a pretty good chance that there was some substance to the charges. I can also tell you that when your superiors go to bat for you in a trial, that carries a **** ton of weight. I have seen a Lot of NCO's Senior NCO's and Officers get away with some serious crap in 22 years in the Army. One in particular, a SSG, got caught with child pornography on computer when he was caught in a sting op. When his Chain of Command went to bat for him, he was found guilty of lesser charges and basically got off scott free. He even came out on the Promotion list for SFC (E7) until the Detective in charge of the case got wind. Presumably, by some one in the battalion that had a conscience, reported it. Only then was he removed from the Promotion list. So just because he was found not guilty of the charges that would of landed him in prison doesn't mean he wasn't guilty [/QUOTE]
