A judge has vacated the military conviction of Bowe Bergdahl, the former U.S. Army soldier who pleaded guilty to desertion after he left his post and was captured in Afghanistan
In a 2017 military trial, Bowe Bergdahl had pleaded guilty to desertion after he left his post and was captured in Afghanistan and tortured by the Taliban.
A federal judge ruled in favor of the government in one argument but agreed with Bergdahl on the other, ultimately vacating his sentence and all subsequent orders and decisions thereafter.
