Per the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Army Times<\/span>, that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30382\">philandering former bigamist Brigade Commander<\/a>, James H. Johnson III, won\u2019t be doing any time. Looks like he came up with the $300,000 he was fined,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/prime\/2012\/09\/PRIME-army-colonel-in-bigamy-case-pays-fine-091812\/\"> and has apparently paid up<\/a>. Full details are behind a pay wall, but the story&#8217;s \u201cteaser\u201d tells enough &#8211; well, assuming the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Army Times<\/span> got the facts right this time.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, this was a travesty. IMO Johnson should be doing at least a couple of years at the Leavenworth crossbar hotel, followed by dismissal, along with that fine. But the courts-martial panel turned candy-ass and didn\u2019t slam him like it should have, probably out of sympathy for his first wife.<\/p>\n<p>However, Johnson\u2019s now a convicted felon \u2013 which likely rather severely limits his post-service employment prospects. In many states that also means voting and firearms ownership could be problematic.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing his Army career will end fairly soon, too. And I\u2019d also guess the judge at his civil divorce trial will look at all of this when he decides division of property and future alimony his first wife is owed.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that Johnson had to cash out 100% of any savings\/retirement accounts and\/or investments he owned to pay that fine. And I hope the judge in his divorce trial awards his first wife all community property, plus a <strong>big<\/strong> chunk of his retirement pay \u2013 say, <strong>75%<\/strong> or so \u2013 as alimony.<\/p>\n<p>Have a nice rest of your life, Johnson. Good riddance, and don\u2019t let the door hit you on the ass as you outprocess &#8211; hopefully very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it looks like it\u2019s official.
