Seems like the immediate commanding officer has an interest in making sure his command goes smoothly even if it means ignoring things that should be reported.
Bingo!

Exactly the opposite. The immediate command is respected for honesty, integrity, and attention to detail.

I was never in the military but some things work the same way.
When I was a factory foreman, and crap always found its way to me because I was immediately responsible. It was always better for me that it rise to my level than find its way to the top and come rolling downhill.
Obviously I never dealt with anything as serious as rape but I did “fix” problems so my superiors didn’t have to know about them.

Bingo indeed!
Who is in a better position to quickly get the unbiased evidence?
A commander who is dependent on good reviews for promotion or a trained legal officer whose only consideration is determining the truth and prosecuting any guilty parties?
The legal officer would have better knowledge of the military justice system and could resolve cases quicker and more efficiently.
