\"Judge<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Shocka! David sends us news<\/a> that Bragadier General Jeffrey Sinclair, that fellow who was accused of sexual assault, was sentenced today and he got off with a fine, a hefty fine for you and me, but a lot less than what you and I would got.<\/p>\n

Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair \u2014 who struck a plea deal after being accused of sexually assaulting his former lover \u2014 was sentenced Thursday to pay $24,100 in fines and restitution, but not jailed or demoted.<\/p>\n

Sinclair, 51, smiled after learning his fate.<\/p>\n

“The system worked. I’ve always been proud of my Army,” he said outside the Fort Bragg, N.C., courthouse. “All I want to do now is go north and hug my kids and my wife.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, the system worked. The LA Times<\/a> reports on his behavior at the sentencing hearing yesterday;<\/p>\n

Choking on his words and wiping his eyes, Sinclair apologized to the judge, the captain, his wife, his two young sons and to an institution he has served for 27 years. He begged to be allowed to retire at a reduced rank so that his family may collect military benefits “they have earned serving alongside me all these years.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m disappointed with Judge (Col.) Pohl. I grew to like him while I watched the Guantanamo hearings, but this is really a joke. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
