Why did this Marine receive a light jail term?

It was apparently found to be an accident.\n\nHe's most likely going to punish himself daily more than any jail could.  He probably knew and was buddies with the deceased....

I am in law enforcement in Maine. The punishment depends on a number of things, including the discretion of the court, your criminal history and the nature of the crime. I encourage you to call the (non-emergency line of) your local police department and you can ask anonymously what sentence that statute holds. I will tell you that officers HATE to take these calls, because there is such a variance from crime to crime and person to person, so you won't get a specific answer, only a possibility.

He was arrested by the grammar police. I heard they also have a warrant out for you.

Only if he was a lawbreaker - it was considered the harshest sentence in the book. \n\nCheers!

Yeah, they can pretty much do what ever they want. Right now my brother is sitting in jail because an officer said he kicked a car door into his leg. This is considered assault on an officer, and that is a felony. If he is convicted he could serve 2 to 10 years. It sucks because we can't do anything about it, and it is all because this officer wants to lie.

I read a portion of the transcript where the judge gives his justifications for sentencing this person as a juvenile rather than an adult.  I cannot reconcile the judge's reasoning with his statements of the law.  I see no reason why this kids shouldn't have been sentenced as an adult.  Instead of life in jail, he will be out by the time he is 21.

Failure to Register which is a 5 year prison term. Also, he will be charged with violating probation, which can carry his original sentence. He is definitely looking at prison time and probation when he gets out of prison. He will also have the GPS on when he gets out.

well, if he is somewhere where alchohol is forbidden( say the litter box, for instance),then yeah, a  Court martial is definitely legal.  he's probably being made an example of, at his age, and I also assume his rank as an NCO, he should have known better than to disobey a direct order.  Now he has to pay the piper.

What is he in jail for?  Is he guilty or innocent?

The commander of the marines has said that if those soldiers are found guilty they will be punished.

What does that matter? They are being tried & convicted some to life in prison, some to death. Military prison is not like state prison either.

If he desires to leave, despite the fact that he is needed and many other soldiers have many other problems a lot worse than this and chose to stay in, he can try for a "hardship discharge". That's basically saying that continuing his enlistment would cause an undo hardship. That would avoid a dishonorable discharge, which for the record, if he were to get one, there are a lot more things he would have to be concerned about than financial security.He would be a felon. he could not vote. He could not own a firearm. his credit would be shot, for life. And anyone who ever does a background check on him would know. Also, it's pretty much impossible to get a dishonorable discharge today without having committed some crime that would earn time in military prison.

It is certainly possible that such a person would be subject to criminal jurisdiction by each state, and by the Federal Government.  He was already convicted? Is this about where he is to be imprisoned?

according to the case in the news about the 5ft 1in 100 lb man convicted of two sex offenses. the judge said that because of his size, he wouldn't survive in prison even though he could have gotten protective custody.  so this dumbass judge sentensed him to 10 years of supervised probation in the convicts home.

this was a Nautical punishment often resulting in death,and at the best serious injury.\n\nthe idea was to end up with the offender stil alive\na rope was tied to the feet and arms and the person was pulled under the ship ,\nfrom one side to the other ,some times more than once.the barnacles  that grow on the hull ,cutting open the mans back and he was dragged up bleeding.\n.some times the sharks got him before he could be hauled back up 0r he died later from infection\nthe punsh ment that was more terminal was walikng the plank\n\nand a milder punishment than keel hauling ,was to be flogged with the cat of nine tails,or to have ones hand  nailed to the mast
