Seems Robert Pennington got the same presiding judge as Melvin Bacos. - Marine Col. Steven Folsom.
In Bacos' sentence Col. Folsom sentenced him to 10 years and a dishonorable discharge. However, with his prearranged plea deal, Bacos will only serve 10 months and remain in the Navy.
In Pennington's sentence, Col. Folsom sentenced him to 14 years, don't know about dishonorable discharge. Per Pennington's plea deal he will serve 8 years and be dishonorably discharged.
It just doesn't sit right, IMO, that turning on his "brothers in arms" would gain Bacos this much. Appears the presiding judge didn't think so either with his sentences.
What'cha sayin', Girlene?
