Search Results: Unlawful command influence

while yes, I will agree that it has happened from time to time, it is supposed to be reviewed at the next level at least once but I believe twice in actuality. But quite simply, civilian courts are not trained nor prepared for a subtle but very distinct difference. While a military court is there to sort out right from wrong in most cases it is even that cut and dried. They are also to look out for the GOOD OF THE SERVICE which can, in some cases turn the wrong into a right. We have all heard the phrase "he did the wrong thing, but for the right reasons" The civilian court makes no distinctions (except for TX I hear, they still have the defense of "him needed killing" so I hear) So, while yes, there is some politicization of our courts system, can you truly say the civilian courts are much better with judges legislating from the bench, because the criminal does not fit the judges read of the crime?
