A beautiful #VeteransDay piece by @Kristine_Froeba: "Only weeks ago Brooks danced on his porch serenaded by the museum’s singing trio while a military flyover banked down his street. But he’s faltering now, and his daughter says he can no longer walk." militarytimes.com/military-honor…
"I can never look at [the Marine Corps] the same.” The parents of Lt. Col. Stu Scheller in an exclusive interview with @SgtJRWebb. marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari…
Marine veteran Kate Hendricks Thomas' nurse practitioner had recommended she get a mammogram, “based on where you’ve been stationed.” She not only had one type of cancer — she had three. An eye-opening piece from @KellySKennedy and @TheWarHorseNews: miltim.es/VIImbw2
Here’s our wrap up story. Based on our research, Scheller is only the second officer ever convicted of Article 88. marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari…
In the aggravating circumstances, Hines noted that Article 88 – contempt towards officials – is an extremely serious charge. (Any of you law types know exactly how rare? Hit my DMs) That crime is “serious” and “corrosive,” he said, bc it “degrades public trust.”
Col. Glen Hines, the judge, blasted the USMC in noting the mitigating circumstances. - “specter of unlawful command influence” - re: leaks — “That’s very disturbing — it’s unfair, illegal” - noted Scheller’s “outstanding record” - said pre-trial confinement “a very rare thing”
The sentence is much lighter than the Corps wanted, even when you consider how much the Corps took off the table in the plea agreement. Gov’t had asked to take $5k/month for 6 months. Only got 1.
Good morning, everyone! Today is Day 2 of Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller’s court-martial. Yesterday, he was convicted on all counts related to his social media posts criticizing the Afghanistan withdrawal. Catch up on day 1 ⬇️ marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari…
Here’s my recap of day 1. marinecorpstimes.com//news/your-mar…
Sentencing is tomorrow morning. USMC asked for a forfeiture of $5000 pay a month for six months. To be clear, the pay forfeiture absolutely does not matter here. Scheller already raised $2.5 million through Eddie Gallagher’s non-profit, and pled guilty to soliciting in uniform.
We’re in another short recess before the USMC rebuts the defense’s sentencing case. Keep in mind here, though, that there’s really not much at stake here in the sentencing phase of the case. The judge’s options are severely restricted by the plea agreement.
Scheller also read off a twenty-minute long statement about his actions. He denied that he had ever called for violence — repeatedly stressed the point that he wants to see senior leaders held accountable for failures in Afghanistan.
It was Rep. Ralph Norman, who compared Scheller to Eddie Gallagher as troops who get “hammered” by a “two-tiered” system. An, uh, interesting parallel to draw? But it’s also worth noting that Tim Parlatore, one of Scheller’s attorneys, was also Gallagher‘s attorney.
We’re in another brief recess during the sentencing hearing. Last three witnesses were former military colleagues who spoke highly of Scheller — more typical of what you’d expect from a proceeding like this. Another member of Congress testifying shortly.
NEW: surprise testimony from Rep. Louie Gohmert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (via Zoom) MTG was cut off twice by the judge — once during her meandering story about where she was on 9/11, and again after she started to call for Biden’s impeachment. USMC objected to relevance.
