I doubt it. Unfortunately, it's not improbable that some army people twisted the system for their own purposes but state attorney generals don't dance to the army's tune... most especially for something this high profile. The KY AG would not have personally held a press conference if he didn't think he had an ironclad case. In 2019 you can't get away with framing a dedicated military officer for multiple murders.

One thing I don't like is why police need to make a spectacle of everything. Why not just go to his hotel and pick him up there, nope we'll do it at the airport and perp walk him.

OK, not sure how I missed that little detail! Seems like it would be a slam dunk, why has it taken four years?

They like to take you at work, experience has shown the perp is less likely to resist, make a scene, etc. With a pilot at the airport, they also pretty much know his armament status. With a combat vet ex-ranger at his home, not so much.

Exactly the point I was getting at. Sucks to make it so public but there’s a solid reason for it besides embarrassment.

In my experience, the military JAG corps has been on a decades long witch hunt, probably ever since tailhook. I think maybe their promotability has somehow become dependent upon them becoming unflinching social justice warriors.
Having said that, I think the military court martial system - at least in my experience (on 2 court martial boards and on 2 civilian trial juries) is VASTLY superior at getting to the truth and providing justice.
