Remember - the jury (if it even gets to that point) will all be military members, almost certainly all with combat experience.
No, you're thinking of a court-martial. This is a US district court, an entirely different animal.

Sgt. Weemer is being prosecuted underthe military system. Sgt Nelson’s contempt citation is in Federal District Court, but that would probably be because the military didn’t have UCMJ jurisdiction over Sgt Nelson anymore. I know that the original prosecution of Weemer is military because of the Art. 32 reference - that’s a military-only proceeding.
