Last Soldier in Danny Chen Abuse Case to be Removed from the Army

The eighth and last soldier to be tried in the Danny Chen abuse case, Chen’s platoon leader, First Lt. Daniel L. Schwartz, will be removed from the Army.  This punishment was handled outside of the court martial process.  If he had went through a court martial, he would have faced six different dereliction of duty charges.  Schwartz is the only officer to be accused.  The Army Human Resources Command will decide what kind of discharge he will receive, a process that could take weeks.
