this, a preliminary hearing may not come for months. and a trial itself may not come for more than a year. we don't know yet the maximum penalty for these charges is the death penalty. we don't know yet whether the military will be seeking the death penalty when that comes. the last time the military executed a soldier was in 1961. there are currently about six military personnel on death row. but it has been a long time since they've executed anybody. as a matter of fact, here at ft. leavenworth at the maximum security prison known as the disciplina disciplinary barracks, they don't have the equipment to carry out an execution. they would have to be shiched out to the federal penitentiary in terre haute. but it would likely to be held at ft. lewis-mcchord, bales' home base. it's also closer to his wife.
