The government now has 60 days to appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF). If the government loses at CAAF, they can seek a review by the U.S. Supreme Court. After all the appeals are over, the government can attempt to bring a new case against LtCol Chessani with a new convening authority (a new General overseeing the case if that new general so desires).

So it appears this colonel is not off the hook yet. The gov., can continue to screw his life up.

I would expect this to be unconstitutional — providing the prosecution the opportunity to perfect its case against Chessani given the losses.
