"Sens. McCaskill, Ayotte: Keep Military Sexual Assault Cases in Chain of Command" PBS Newshour 8/1/2013
Excerpt
GWEN IFILL (Newshour): The debate continues on Capitol Hill over how to end rape and sexual assault in the military. We spoke recently with Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who wants to take the power to launch prosecutions away from military commanders.
But the Senate Armed Services Committee voted to keep the process in the chain of command, while stripping commanders of the authority to overturn verdicts.
Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Republican Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire support that approach. They join us now from Capitol Hill.
