I don’t have the full story from Nat yet but my understanding is that SSgt Wuterich was given a sentence as a formality and incarceration was commuted by decision of the convening authority.
Like being sentenced in court and then having it instantly commuted.
This must have been part of the plea agreement. Details as soon as I have them!
If the "convening authority" was Jones, then he had nothing to do with it. That sick, cowardly scumbag apparently wanted Wuterich in jail for the max time allowable (90 days). See jazusamo's post @ #95.
