Alfredo Sanchez appeared somber and tearful during a special court-martial at the Washington Navy Yard for the criminal charge under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Sanchez pleaded guilty as part of an agreement reached earlier this year and has yet to be sentenced, but could face a letter of reprimand and forfeiture of a portion of his pay for three months.<\/p>\n<p>The criminal conviction could be a career-ending move for Sanchez, who has spent more than 20 years in the service.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe negligently failed to ensure the safe navigation of the said vessel,\u201d the charge sheet said, \u201cas it was his duty to do as Commanding Officer to ensure a proper watch was set for transiting a high-density contact contact environment; take proper action and control of the vessel during system casualty; follow operational Standing Orders during a conceived system casualty, and that such dereliction of duty contributing to the death\u201d of the 10 sailors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stars &#038; Stripes reports that Cmdr.
