Institutional Bias

Given the fact that the individuals trying the saboteurs in the commission were all members of the military, there could be a serious conflict of interests. Since the President named the judges trying the case, and the President was the only authority that could approve or deny the findings of the proceedings, it seemed the men were on a oneโ€way street toward conviction. Military officers sitting as judges take orders from the President, who ordered the formation of the trial. The likelihood for bias in the proceeding because of the nature of these facts alone would seem reason enough to utilize an alternate method of trial. When you are trying your sworn enemy and your commander is calling for a prosecution of this enemy, a conviction regardless of the facts seems overwhelmingly likely. If better defined parameters for jurors were established, the risk of conspiracies to convict could be mitigated.
