Navy SEAL convicted for death of Green Beret Logan Melgar has 10-year sentence ‘set aside’

An appeals court has ordered that Navy SEAL Tony DeDolph will get a new sentencing hearing.

Army Special Forces Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar, right, died in June 17 in Mali. Former Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer Tony E. DeDolph, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter and faced a 10-year prison sentence, will see that sentence dropped ahead of a resentencing hearing. (Task & Purpose photo composite).

This kind of shit in the US military makes me sick to my stomach.

I'd say that our senior military "leaders" should be ashamed of themselves for the five year long travesty of justice that goes on with bullshit...
...but how long did it for these same senior "leaders" to start ruining careers over a fucking COVID shot.

Murder a man over greed and avarice - no problem.
Get the wrong tattoo or refuse to get an experimental vaccine - and the uS mi1iTaRee says you can fuck right off.

The word shameful simply isn't enough.

NOT a "new trial," it is a new sentencing phase due to misconduct by the prosecutors. I've seen a very disturbing trend over the last ten years or so where prosecutors lie, cheat, don't divulge mandatory disclosure information, or simply refuse to hand over information that the defense is entitled to.

This is square on the JAG's and the way they were trained (or NOT trained).
