None of the nonsense reported in the first link is reported in the following links. None of first link was ever introduced at trial! AND if you read Part 1 and 2 of the those links the story certainly doesn't jive with the first link you posted.
Let me guess, you don't like the military.

No, let me guess. You have never sat on a military court martial board, yet you assume they are not only corrupt morons, but will unflinchingly obey orders to convict or acquit.
The truth is that lawyer razzle-dazzle, hired gun expert witnesses, and lots of other corruptions of the legal system are found in civilians courts. But military trials are the best bet for acquittal if you are innocent or have mitigating circumstances; and they are the very worst if you are guilty and attempt to deceive them.
You assume I hate the military because, now that he is convicted and his appeal denied, I do not take the side of a war criminal murderer. Because with conviction, that is now what he is, though you refuse to accept that idea.
He is no longer an officer and a gentleman. He is a private and a prisoner.
