Behenna Case: Military's Imperfect 'Justice' System

If this is reason to dismiss a charge: "The court said it based its decision on the fact that a military defense attorney assigned to (Sgt. Lawrence) Hutchins was improperly dismissed before his trial in 2007."

Why isn't this? "(Lt. Michael) Behenna was convicted by a court martial and is now serving a 15-year sentence. His trial was marred by the withholding of evidence favorable to him by prosecutors and that has prompted appeals by his parents, Vicki and Scott Behenna, members of the congressional delegation, prosecutors, political leaders and others."
