A military appeals court has ordered a new sentencing hearing for a U.S. Navy SEAL who got 10 years in prison for his role in the hazing death of a U.S. Army Green Beret from Texas.

Prosecutors failed to disclose that a U.S. Marine who testified against the SEAL — and who participated in the hazing — had asked for clemency in exchange for his testimony, the court ruled. The SEAL's defense attorneys missed the chance to question the Marine about a"potential motive to misrepresent events."

The hazing happened in 2017 while the men served in Mali. Charging documents don't state why they were there. But U.S. Special Forces had been in Africa to support and train local troops in their fight against extremists. DeDolph said they plotted an elaborate prank for Melgar known as as a"tape job." That included binding Melgar with duct tape, applying a choke hold to temporarily knock him out and then showing Melgar a video of the incident sometime later.
