A federal judge has thrown out the military conviction of former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who pleaded guilty to desertion after he left his post in Afghanistan and was captured by the Taliban.
In a ruling issued Tuesday, Washington District Judge Reggie Walton partially granted the federal government’s motion to dismiss the Bergdahl case, but ruled in favor of the former solder’s argument that the military judge who had ordered the dishonorable discharge had failed to disclose a possible conflict of interest.
