Navy SEAL pleads guilty in 2017 strangulation death of Green Beret

I didn't say it did. I said that this would fall within the criteria of a Trump pardon. The two examples are not exclusive. But I do see how this could confuse you and others since I left out his many pardons given for those within his inner circle that were convicted of crimes, and let's not forget a traitor (Flynn).

I'm surprised you and another certain someone haven't rushed to help defend these actions.

Please stop. This type of idiocy is unwelcome in this thread.

Stupid [censored].

Within minutes of Melgar’s death, the four men hatched a plan to cover up the crime and proceeded to lie to multiple investigators over the next few weeks.

Because of that, the ones who pled out got off too easily. They should be doing more than a year. People often get sentenced to 12 for misdemeanor crimes.

They're all probably going to get off too easily, unfortunately.

He should have been hanged.

Dig deeper, Pete. This was not a "hazing". This was a calculated murder.

I still say the sentence should have been to take them out to Bragg or Camp Mackall and let the boys deal with them.

A 10 year sentence on a guilty plea for 22 years suggests the judge thought that this Seal's involvement was more than hazing.

With the nature of the military justice system, I would not be surprised if this judge was also the judge on the earlier two guilty pleas that got 1 year in jail and a bad conduct discharge.

SEAL sentenced in Green Beret’s death has conviction overturned


A Navy SEAL sentenced to 10 years for involuntary manslaughter in the asphyxiation death of a Green Beret has had his conviction set aside after a military appellate court found he was denied the chance to cross-examine a “key government witness” ― one of the other defendants in the case.


Special Warfare Operator Chief Tony E. Dedolph was sentenced in January 2021 at a military hearing in Norfolk, Virginia, after pleading guilty to charges that also included conspiracy to commit assault and obstruct justice, violation of a lawful general order and obstruction of justice in the death of Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar.


Among the four special operations troops convicted in what has been called a hazing episode gone horribly wrong in U.S. Embassy housing in Bamako, Mali, in 2017, Dedolph’s sentence was by far the most severe. Now, he’ll likely receive a rehearing that could change the outcome of his case.


At issue is the testimony of Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Kevin Maxwell, a Marine Raider who pleaded guilty to charges including negligent homicide and making false official statements in June 2019 and received a four-year sentence.


According to an appellate decision released Thursday from the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Military Appeals, Maxwell, the only participant in the deadly hazing incident to testify for the prosecution in Dedolph’s case, had submitted a request for clemency, or lenience in his sentence, but did not inform Dedolph or his attorneys.


“At [Dedolph’s] sentencing hearing, [Maxwell] testified on behalf of the Government,” the appellate decision, which uses pseudonyms, states. “He provided testimony describing the assault on [Melgar], to include a detailed account of the methods [Dedolph] used to render [Melgar] unconscious. After the trial, the Government endorsed [Maxwell’s] request for clemency and the convening authority reduced [Maxwell’s] confinement from four years to three years.”

LTG Flynn is not a traitor. But Resident Biden is.

I posted about this case before. Hazing gone bad. Very bad.

The hazing story is bull$#@! they made up to mitigate their crime.
