The Supreme Court ruled five to five that soldiers and sailors facing off duty crimes deserve civilian trials, not court martial. The decision cites the case of former Army Sgt. James F. O’Callahan, who, after off duty offenses in Waikiki, was granted a civilian trial. Justice Douglas noted civilian trials better protect individual rights, contrasting with military tribunals.
