I'm not sure we know anymore than what was presented at the trial. We've heard a lot of opinions by historians about perjury (regarding Spangler's case) but unless there is testimony contradicting the testimony given at trial they remain just opinions.

I agree with Laurie, the military commission weighed the evidence and gave him the most lenient sentence. Maybe he was in the wrong place at the wrong time but given the outrage at the time, 'guilty' was the appropriate verdict.
