Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
The prosecutor repeatedly exhorted the panel members to consider how their sentence would reflect on them personally and professional and suggested that the members would be responsible for any future harm committed by Senior Airman Witt. Did this misconduct deprive Senior Airman Witt of due process protections and render the sentencing fundamentally unfair?
