Do you agree with the military recalling a service member to face courts martial?

Yes, I do agree that's the right move. If a person commits a crime while on active duty and then leaves active duty, they are still responsible for their actions - even though they're no longer on active duty. That's why authorities have the option of bringing the individual back on active duty -- to have them answer for the crime.

Yes ... Without a doubt. Individuals who violated the law should be prosecuted in accordance with the law.

Think we should all be held accountable and as long as there is no statue of limitations on the crime and no double jeopardy, those accused of crimes should be tried.

Tough one, but No
Although I truly believe in people being held accountable for their crimes, I do have a challenge with using the military courts as a tool to witch hunt and retry civilian cold cases.

Using the cross jurisdictions to undercut and deny the legal rights of a person of a person not to retried is deceptive and violates the spirit the double jeopardy in my view.

I say yes. You do the crime, you do the TIME!

This appears to be a case of a "legal opinion" which resulted in a "creative" method of dealing with a situation that no one really liked in the first place.

If Mr. Hennis can be tried again, in a different court, because there is "new evidence" (which rationale is a large pile of well aged bovine excrement) - then there is no legal reason why he couldn't have been tried again, in a different court, WITHOUT the "new evidence".

The whole "new evidence" issue is raising a lot of problems. Previously "new evidence" would rarely be able to conclusively establish that someone who had been convicted was IN FACT not the person who did the deed. Now it can. Equally, "new evidence" would rarely be able to conclusively establish that someone who had been acquitted was IN FACT the person who did the deed. Now it can.

Maybe it's time to re-examine the whole concept of "new evidence"/"double jeopardy" with a view to making it easier to free the innocent and convict the guilty.

But let's stop manipulating the rules to come up with what appears to be the correct result.

If this guy is guilty, he's a scumbag. However, if the article got the pertinent law correct, the military no longer has jurisdiction.

Absolutely.. A General CM is not normally an ill advised recommendation to the Approval authority. They are not often used as the path unless the case is VERY strong, almost to the point of no down side or chance of loosing.

JAG folks may disagree and they of course see way more of the cases then most of us ever will.
My position is based on what I observed... I never saw a Gen CM that was not deserved and supported with copious evidence.

So if a service member is being recalled for a Gen CM..it needs to be done

Absolutely.
Not for minor things, mind you. But the example cited is a perfect case in point where it is appropriate. Otherwise, the Soldier in question just gets to go on with life claiming honorable service.

Absolutely yes when no statute of limitations in the military.
