From military to civilian court in Turkey

This news account reports on a 2011 soldier-on-soldier homicide case that began in military court and will end in a civilian one "because the country abolished military high courts by amending the constitution after a failed coup attempt." The accused had been sentenced to four and a half years' confinement for involuntary manslaughter, but the Military Court of Cassation upheld an appeal by the victim's family.
