What happens when you try a court-martial in the middle of a pandemic? Consider
this account of a U.S. Naval Academy midshipman's case currently being tried at the Washington Navy Yard. Excerpt:
The court-martial against Naval Academy Midshipman 3rd Class Nixon Keago will feature far more breaks than normal.
After each potential member of the panel that would be the court-martial equivalent of a jury was questioned by the judge, defense and government Thursday, Judge Capt. Aaron Rugh would call for a five-minute recess so parts of the courtroom could be cleaned and aired out.
Such is a court-martial during a pandemic.
