IIRC, we were told that one could not be Courts Marshalled if previously tried by a civil (Crown) court but that this did not apply the other way.
Has the law changed with the changes to the CM system or could he now face civil charges?
If one was so charged, having been dismissed the Service, I would imagine anyone in the CoC who had been award of previous transgressions would be called to attest the triviality or otherwise of previous transgressions.
