Bergdahl Chooses to Have Trial Heard by Judge and Not Jury

Associated Press | 21 Aug 2017

RALEIGH, N.C. — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is choosing be tried by a judge — not a military jury — on charges that he endangered comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan.

Bergdahl's lawyers told the court in a filing last week that he's choosing to have a trial by judge alone, rather than a panel of military members.

Good move...unless the judge was a combat arms officer before going to law school.

I agree, too.  But, I also agree with @Night Hides Not, it could go badly for him if the Judge was a combat officer.
