[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given how quickly he was arrested and charged I'm inclined to go along with law enforcement conclusions in doing so.

The sheriff, I think, was the one who said he was like someone who steps in front of a moving vehicle and claims the moving vehicle is why he had to shoot somebody. A civilian might not be charged in the same scenario, or maybe involuntary manslaughter, but the same law enforcement officers who are given some deference to their professional discretion do so because they are also supposed to carry out their duties professionally to begin with.

I saw a reference to an Army reprimand he received but no specifics. According to the Military Times he received a general discharge, meaning there was some deficiency, anyone know what it was?[/quote]

Same PP. I saw upthread where someone posted an article that referenced his military discharge. One of his DUIs was while he was enlisted.

You can get discharged for a DUI but not necessarily.

This was insightful.

“ Anthony Ghiotto, a former Air Force prosecutor who now teaches law at the University of Illinois, said there are several reasons why a service member could receive this type of discharge in lieu of a court-martial proceeding or if the member commits a civilian infraction that can’t be disciplined through the military justice system.

Ghiotto said this kind of discharge suggests that Grayson committed an offense equivalent to something that would have led to at least a year of incarceration for a civilian.

“A good way of looking at it is, if it would be a misdemeanor in the civilian world, it’s not going to be a ‘serious offense,’” he said. He added it’s likely Grayson was not court-martialed.”
