The Army lawyers prosecuting Behenna had a legal duty to reveal such “exculpatory evidence” that could clear Behenna to the defense and failed to do so, Behenna’s lawyer Jack Zimmermann tells Newsmax.

That is true. The prosecutors are sucking eggs if they withhold “exculpatory evidence”.

Some military lawyers are Soldiers/Airman/Marines first and lawyers second and others are trying to get trial time and keep their conviction rate high.

Pains me to say that but many do not have the best interests of the service at heart. Obviously you don't want anyone to disregard the UCMJ or half step, but if the prosecution willfully withheld this information, this is the worst kind of treachery in my opinion.
