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.

Nelson was locked up for refusing to testify against his former squad leader Jose L. Nazario at a federal Grand Jury seated in Riverside, California...Nazario is currently scheduled to stand trial on July 8 in the U.S. District Court for Central California in Riverside for two counts of voluntary manslaughter...Nazario was indicted by a federal Grand Jury two weeks after being arrested on August 7, 2007. He is charged under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act passed by Congress in 2000 to allow service members serving overseas to be prosecuted in civilian court for offenses that call for more than one year of imprisonment.

Sgt. Nelson has been jailed over the Nazario case, not the Weemer one.
