Lawyer: General may retire at current rank despite plea
USA Today reports:
The attorney for Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, who pleaded guilty last week to adultery and having inappropriate relationships with several women, said it is possible that his client could still retire as a general.
In a highly charged case, Sinclair was fined $20,000 and reprimanded, but he avoided prison time. Critics, such as Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., called the sentence a “mockery.”
The sentence left open an important question. At what rank will Sinclair, 51, be allowed to retire?
