NPR asks: is it time for reform?
In the wake of the Bonhomme Richard arson acquittal, National Public Radio's All Things Considered has run this piece by Steve Walsh, asking whether it is time to reform the American military justice system. NIMJ president Rachel VanLandingham and Protect Our Defenders president Don Christensen vote Aye. She says: "I fully believe that the Navy needs to have its serious cases, its felony-level cases prosecuted by the Department of Justice and not by the Navy, just because of its inexperience." He says:" I know [NCIS] got the TV show, but should we be relying on them when we have the Federal Bureau of Investigation that can investigate these crimes or the local investigators can investigate these crimes?"
