A Behanna update by Army Times:

The Army Clemency and Parole Board in Arlington, Va., will review First Lt. Michael Behenna’s case on Thursday, The Oklahoman reported Monday. It will be the second time this year the board has reviewed the case. After the first review, it reduced his sentence by five years. It was not immediately clear why the board was looking at the case again. On Dec. 9, the Army Court of Criminal Appeals will hear oral arguments in Behenna’s appeal. Behenna has said he failed to receive a fair trial because an expert witness retained by prosecutors never testified, but had information that could have cleared him. The NewsOK has a fuller report including some of the details of the offenses.
