Fidell, what an appropriate last name for a traitorous lawyer. Judge Nance should be ashamed of himself to the point of committing suicide. I mean it. How dare he let the scum Bergdahl off! Luckily this case is up for appeals so maybe the outcome will change. At least that is how I understand it.
I believe only the defense can make an appeal. They probably will argue for elimination of the fine, restoration to sergeant with a promotion to E-6, and change the dishonorable discharge to honorable. The crazy part is that the Army promoted this scumbag to sergeant AFTER he deserted.
