A military judge yesterday sentenced LtCol
Stuart Scheller of the U.S. Marine Corps to a reprimand and forfeiture of $5,000.
Jeff Schogol reports for
Task & Purpose:
The military judge gave Scheller a sentence that was lighter than the maximum punishment allowed under an agreement reached with prosecutors, which would have required Scheller to forfeit two-thirds of one month’s pay for 12 months. The judge said in open court that he would have docked Scheller’s pay for two months, but he gave the Marine lieutenant colonel credit for time he had served in the brig.
