[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Former Guantanamo Bay commander Navy Capt. John R. Nettleton was convicted of interfering with an investigation into the death of Christopher Tur

  • On the night of his disappearance in January 2015, Tur confronted the commander and Tur's wife at a party at the on-base nightclub

  • Later that night, Tur went to Nettleton's residence and the two men fought

  • After Tur went missing, Nettleton failed to tell people leading the search for him that he was last seen at his house

  • Tur's body was later found floating in the waters off the base and Nettleton was removed from command

  • Nettleton was convicted in Jacksonville on charges of obstruction of justice, concealing material facts, falsifying records and making false statements

  • He wasn't charged with Tur's death

I guess the jury didn't believe a Navy officer could take a Marine...
