“The court end of this has concluded with this finding: Stu Scheller pleaded guilty to the six misdemeanor counts. The government wanted six months of $5,000 a month fine. The judge gave him one. one months of forfeiture of $5,000, called for an investigation into the misconduct by the command in the case. The judge said that it certainly seemed in his eyes that there was UCI — Undue Command Influence. The defense made a motion that they leaked medical records of Col. Schiller’s. He questioned the illegal confinement, and I think this was a major victory for Scheller.”
