[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 73974749, member: 326155"] Something I'd point out about courts-martial: They are convened by the "court-martial authority" who is the commander over the theater or zone in which the alledged crime occurred. The military members (officers in a case like this) will also be from that zone. On the jury will be soldiers who have actually been there, seen that, were faced with the same dilemmas--they may even have been dealing with those issues the day before being detailed to serve on the jury and will return to them the day after delivering the verdict. In other words, a court-martial is a "judgment by peers" more closely than a civilian court. [/QUOTE]
