From:It's--it's horrible. Do you know if it will be handled by a military court or federal? I did some reading, but I'm not sure, since it looks flexible when it's something like this.
*sends hugs* Everything okay up there? It must have been a shock.

From:I'm pretty sure any prosecution would be handled under military courts. He was an officer, the attack took place on a military base -- it seems clear cut. I'm also fairly sure that military justice is harsher in terms of punishments.
