A Marine SSGT was convicted and then his conviction was overturned on appeal. Even though his conviction was overturned, the government refused to pay him E-6 pay and allowances while he was pending retrial. For 10 months, the client was only paid E-1 pay and allowances. We filed suit in the Court of Federal Claims, which remanded the case to BCNR. The Board held that the SSGT was entitled to his E-6 pay while pending retrial. This victory took years to achieve, but the client has finally received his pay.
