Oh, for cryin’ out loud. What is up with these prosecutors? What part of “sit down” by the military judge, Col. Folsom, did Lt. Col. Sullivan not understand?
I doubt Sullivan is going away until the last dog is dead, he realizes this is reflecting very poorly on him.
Wonder what chain of command LtCol Sullivan is in? How high up did he need to go for approval to file this appeal?

I’m afraid you misunderstood the judge. If he had meant the prosecution to sit down, he’d have dismissed WITH prejudice. That would mean they couldn’t refile charges. Essentially, he told them to do it over, and have someone make the decision to charge or not charge who wasn’t influenced by someone who was part of the investigation, or just give it up.
