Marine Lt. Col. Scheller pleads guilty to all charges

Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller was found guilty on Thursday of numerous charges in connection with his very public battle with top military and civilian leaders that began over the Afghanistan withdrawal and then morphed into a grudge match over “the system,” a Marine Corps spokesman said. 

The military judge hearing the case accepted Scheller’s plea of guilty on Thursday. He faces sentencing this afternoon and the maximum punishment that Scheller could receive would include a letter of reprimand and forfeiture of two-thirds of one month’s pay for a year, the spokesman said. He has also requested to leave the Marine Corps, but the type of discharge he will receive will ultimately be decided by the Navy secretary.
