The person with the MOST influence over the GCM Board is the Military Judge
who presides over the proceedings

His official instructions are VERY influential,

And no one knows what instructions he was given before the trail began and
by
whom They donlt have to influence you. They only have to influence him and
you
would never know the difference.

Again, in this case, I doubt it could have happened. The judge was from
another
base, another air wing, another chain of command (didn't converge until
COMNAVAIRPAC, and I doubt he was worried about influencing a judge about an
E5's
Court Martial). Most of what he read in his instructions was directly from
the
Manual for Courts Martial and another manual.



Yes. We should always doubt.
