"An active-duty Special Forces soldier has been charged with murder after three people were killed and three wounded in a shooting Saturday at a bowling alley in Rockford, Illinois, authorities said Sunday."
It appears the defendant has been charged by Illinois (where the death penalty has been abolished), and that the Army is only cooperating in the investigation. Link here.

Paging Dwight Sullivan and Jonathan Potter: Do you think the Army would have sought capital punishment in this case? As many homicide victims as Hennis, including attempted homicide on children.

Same Army MO as in Hennis . . . they're lying in the weeds. But, they also know his history of deployments, etc., and any PTSD diagnosis.

Great, so if Illinois doesn’t get a conviction, the Army can be waiting to try him again for the exact same offense, just like Hennis...
