This guy is an Army trooper being held for a General Court Martial in a Marine Brig? Yeah, I'd say he is safer in solitary. This guy is being held for what amounts to treason. Marines would take a dim view of this. I am curious as to why he is held in a Marine Brig rather than an Army Stockade. If found guilty he will be headed to the USDB at Fort Leavenworth which is a Federal Prison administered as the US Disciplinary Barracks for members of the Forces.
As a lawyer I have a degree of unease regarding all of this.
As a soldier I am appalled by his alleged actions.
While I generally oppose capital punnishment I am ambivalent about treason. Having been in the line of fire in defense of my country I have a very dim view of those who would betray her.
I am trying to keep an objective view until the court martial sees the evidence but if he is found guilty...
