That’s my question. As a JAG, I’m scratching my head on the jurisdictional issue...if he was overseas on military orders, CA has no jurisdiction, nor should the Federal District Court be stretching to exercise jurisdiction if the USMC didn’t prefer charges. The only possibility I see is that they discovered the “crime” after he’d been discharged and didn’t want to bring him back on AD to court martial him, and the Feds are pissed off that the USMC didn’t exercise jurisdiction. Still weak...

Nazario was out the Marines, and so is being charged under MEJA by the feds. (See post above for more).

I'm waiting for a country like Cuba, Venezuela or Zimbabwe to bring us up on charges in the world court. Although it almost seems more likely our "allies" in Europe would be the first to do it.
