Do you know if it went to a hearing? I’m guessing retirement was part of an agreement?
They had the preliminary hearing but it never went to a court martial. He was reprimanded, fined (maybe $5,000?) and retired with his rank intact and with 20 years. He originally was just 3 days short of his 20 years, when he was charged. He was given a choice to either quit (w/o retirement), or go to court martial and risk 8 yrs in prison. He fought it. It sounded like the Army lost a good man at the time.
