Hoo boy, this guy's in for a long, hard row to hoe. I strongly doubt he'll get the death penalty, but he's going to be in Leavenworth for a long, long time...and in the eyes of his fellow inmates, he's going to be lower than child molesters, and it will be even worse since he's an LCDR and the formerly-enlisted inmates there will see that as an excuse to hate him all the more. From Newsweek:
The officer’s unit “provides airborne anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations from planes such as the P-8A Poseidon, P-3C Orion and unmanned MQ-4C Triton,” according to the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot newspaper. The command of the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force is headquartered at Hampton Roads Naval Support Activity in Norfolk, “although it's not clear whether he was stationed there,” the paper said. The unit has wings at Jacksonville Naval Air Station in Florida, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Washington state and Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
My initial guess is that since our biggest threat is from the Chinese, and since they're trying to build ultra-quiet diesels, and he was working with our sub-hunter unit...he was working for the Chinese. The brig is not a fun place, but at least in a Navy brig (assuming it's properly run) he'll be safe from the other inmates...but once he gets to Leavenworth, I'm not so sure about that, even if it is a federal prison.
