In a plea bargain. Actually the Court Martial handed him 12 years. I know people who got more time for passing a no-funds check. The Army M.P. which in my book stands for Murdering Pus... errr punk...said he "knew it was wrong" then blamed the victim. Yep. He had heard about a chaplain, who unlike a Prisoner IS a combatant... was killed by an IED. Which itself might have been more Army Bullshit, the Air Force dumped hundred ton after hundred ton of explosive devices all over Afghanistan. It could as easily have been a case of long-delayed "friendly fire" and we'd never know from the Army accounts. Yeah, they DO lie through their teeth. Anyway, Pig Boy, who like every other Prison Guard in the world took the job because it affords him access to helpless prisoners to abuse and get sexually aroused so he and his fellow Pigs could stand around spanking each others tiny little monkeys... Said that the victim made him do it. By being vaguely of the same ethnicity as whoever was reported to have placed the alleged IED. So the Court Martial, like ALL Judges, did what Pigs normally do, they gave their Fellow Pig the best deal they could hand him under the circumstances. This Farce Martial, the other side of Kangaroo Kourt lynch law, Pigs literally get away with Murder, took place on Ft Carson. I'm not naming the Pig because I personally believe he sold his soul to get his power-trip on, just like every other PIG. But, don't y'all worry none, all y'all Back the Badge Morons, he's in Federal custody so he and his Mom will have conjugal visits soon.
