There was failure to go around there. Undue political influence - him worrying about what the President or some Congresswomen would think (setting up that type of political environment), his Chain-of-Command (the Convening Authority - who I'm still unsure has the ability to approve or disapprove the court's findings - I'll have to ask about that), and though the article mention the DJAG (and eventually that guy became the head JAG?) - the article didn't expressly say where the undue influence he was accused from came in what form? Any more details about that?
Though I have some serious questions and complaints after being around the military law and civilian law circles for over a decade now - I still think it ONE OF the best legal systems around. Just because a DA in NC goes rouge and tries to wrongly convict three people - I'm not ready to say that the entire system is corrupt.
