Sen Ralph E Flanders called the Girard decision outrageous and demanded accountability for who authorized the move. The final U S decision confirmed an earlier agreement to turn Girard over to Japan, noting it had been authorized though not who authorized it. Military officials cited Girard's indictment in Japan for causing death by wounding and contrasted possible sentences 2 15 years in Japan with a three year U S court martial, noting uncertainty if minimums could rise.
