RE: Hypothetical Question(s)

Uhhh, Miss Verge, is any of this going to be on the test? Confused

Seriously, I doubt it. Had Johnson signed the plea, I think her lawyers would have realized that was probably the best they were going to get, and to put her on trial again could have easily resulted in her getting a far worse sentence then spending the rest of her life in jail. I've never wavered in my belief that the military commission, as unfair as it might seem, did more to keep the ones who made it out alive still living. Had they been tried by a civilian court, I imagine all of them would have hung.
