At very least, he should rot in the brig for at least a couple of decades.

Defense attorney Jeremy Warren countered that Castleman also told Paredes that if he didn't board the ship he was "free to go, leaving the sailor with no idea what to do next." Bull product. This sailor knew exactly what he was doing and what he was going to do at every point. His duty was to make ship's movement. The ship was right in front of him. His division officer (I presume) was ordering him to board it. There is no room here for doubt or for ambiguity.

...could receive a year in jail, forfeiture of pay..BCDYou got to be kidding, deliberate action to avoid ship's movement in a time of war? Huh?
20 years hard labor is too good for this guy.

".....a year in jail, forfeiture of pay, etc. blah blah.
Seems like pretty light punishment for refusing to go off to war.
And I'm not a bloodthirsty person.

Paredes, a 23-year-old from the New York City borough of the Bronx, could receive a year in jail, a forfeiture of pay, reduction in rank and a bad-conduct discharge. Four-of-a-kind! Sounds like a good hand to me from the Navy's perspective! Enjoy the rest of your life, ex-sailor!

Lt. Christopher Castleman testified that he met Paredes at the Navy pier and warned him that if he failed to board the ship he could face criminal charges.
Defense attorney Jeremy Warren countered that Castleman also told Paredes that if he didn't board the ship he was "free to go, leaving the sailor with no idea what to do next."
Go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
It's drummed into EVERY recruit, DO NOT MISS A MOVEMENT!!!
No excuse for this.
Book him Sgt.Danno!

I don't understand people who join the military then become anti-war activists. I guess he had some moment of self-realization or whatever, but anybody who has a drastic change of mind in the armed services like that didn't think things through well enough before they joined, or they wouldn't lose focus of their mission like that.
To: SmithL
Youre a selfish bastard. And your day of reckoning is coming.

While his shipmates bid farewell to loved ones, Paredes sat pierside and told reporters he did not want to be part of a war he considers illegal and immoral. He said his military training taught him to avoid what he views as a war crime. Another freedom-hating fag.
To: SmithL
Paredes ... could receive a year in jail, a forfeiture of pay, reduction in rank and a bad-conduct discharge.He deserves more than a year in jail. He should be sent to the red line brig at Paris Island.

Make him work in a military hospital for at least a year. Let him see the courage, conviction and Honor he lacks. Let him see the wounded that served in his place due to his cowardice.
Yes, I know most are not Navy as he is, it is the principle.

I say give him his one year breaking bolders into road base, then give him his awarded Big Chicken Dinner! That will follow him for the rest of his life!
