just curious. this is the guy who is * 'nearly' confessing to shooting his wife while she was on stage at a restaurant.
* he is being hunted in wyoming %26 police said he left a note
Answer:
The civilians have jurisdiction, but the DA can choose to allow the military to prosecute.
Here how they usually do it in cases like this...which are rare thank god.
Civilians try the case. If the outcome is not guilty, or the punishment is too light for the military's taste they will then try him. Its not double jeopardy for some reason I can't remember, but they will most certainly "do him" the way they see fit.
Sounds illegal, but a murderer deserves the very best ; )
I haven't followed the case, but if he's still active duty, then he will be tried in military court, but if he's out of the military, he will be tried in civilian.
Not a 100% sure, not in military law, but if the incident happend off post then civilian most likely. The guy might want to talk to a JAG lawyer to clarify. He is in the National guard, so that might make a difference then also.
In my opinion..More than likely they will find him dead by suicide. He is a trained military sharpshooter and has lost everything. He will not go to trial. But , if he is caught , he will be tried in a criminal court and dishonorably discharged .
Update: Just heard that he has shot himself but they found him and He is is in hospital. If he lives, he will be tried through criminal court. They have charged him with first degree murder.
