General’s court-martial is thrown into jeopardy

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — The sexual assault case against an Army general was thrown into jeopardy today when the judge said the military may have improperly pressed ahead with a trial to send a message about its determination to curb rape and other widespread misconduct. Judge Col. James Pohl refused to dismiss the charges against Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair but offered the defense another chance to plea-bargain the case down with a different set of military officials.
