“What part of “sit down” by the military judge, Col. Folsom, did Lt. Col. Sullivan not understand?”

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.

Probably right. Any idea if the judge had filed WITH prejudice, if the prosecutors could still appeal? If so, this could have been drug out either way.
