RICHARD SCHLESINGER - CBS  "48 HOURS"

48 HOURS "Honor and Dishonor" airs on Saturday, February 16, 2013 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) On the night of September 10, 2007, Tracy Burke, 30, was at the home of her ex-mother-in-law, Karen Comer, in Rineyville, Kentucky.  Tracy was divorcing her current husband, Sergeant Brent Burke, a military policeman at Fort Campbell.  The couple was days away from finalizing the divorce; Tracy wanted it, Brent did not.  Also in the house that night were Tracy’s three children:  Matthew, 9, with her previous husband, and two children with Brent—Eion, 5 and Reagan, just over 2.  Sometime in the early hours of September 11, a masked gunman entered the house, and shot Karen Comer and Tracey Burke to death – as well as the family dog.  The children were left unharmed, although terrified from hearing their mother and grandmother attacked and killed.  Matthew would later told police that they were so scared, they hid for hours.  It wasn’t until around 1pm that day, nearly 7 hours after the killings, that Matthew finally called 911. (audio clips available!)

Investigators immediately focused their attention on Brent Burke, but after four civilian trials were unable to convict him – all ending in hung juries or mistrials – military prosecutors in the army’s JAG – Judge Advocate General’s Corps, stepped in to court-martial Burke for the double homicide.  No physical evidence linked Burke to the crime, and in addition to having earned his own accolades, Sergeant Burke came from a family of highly-decorated soldiers.  How would the army handle prosecuting one of their own?  As Major Rebecca Kliem, a criminal law professor at the JAG law school, tells correspondent Richard Schlesinger, “Every soldier takes an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States.  And when one of us violates that law, they are in a position to be judged.”  48 HOURS, with unprecedented access, takes a rare, in-depth look into the world of JAG proceedings and military justice.  Richard Schlesinger has the story.
