Even with teh FBI involved, teh crime took place on a military installation, by a person subject to teh UMCJ. He will be tried in a court-martial. If he isn’t; I’ll be very surprised.

In a courts-martial, only a preponderance of evidence is required, not “beyond reasonable doubt”.

The first general officer in Nidal’s chain of command has convening authority, no one else. That means some two-star in the medical command likely has the ball.
