As I predicted.....sentencing to be determined on the one guilty verdict re posing with the photograph.

The Charge carries a four month prison sentence but Gallagher served nine months in pre-trial confinement.

The single conviction is subject to Appeal and Review by higher authority.

A Presidential Commutation of Sentence or even a Pardon is possible as well.

Probably the Chief will be given credit for time served, a reduction in rank, and forfeiture of pay and allowances and allowed to remain in the Navy..... but that might be a stretch but possible considering the very black eye the Navy Prosecutors got over how poorly this case was handled from the start.
