Lt.-Gen. Steven Whelan wiped away tears Monday morning when military prosecutors withdrew the final charge against him as his defence lawyer was preparing to cross-examine the complainant in the case.

Whelan had pleaded not guilty to one count of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline for changing a performance report in 2011.
