The acquittal of sergeant major Gene Mckinney from a sexual harassment suit came as a great surprise to many feminists and women's group. Although six women testified against McKinney during the court martial hearings, the military jury found him guilty for only one of the 19 charges against him. National Organization for Women VP Membership Karen Johnson, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, said the verdict only demonstrates the weakness of the military tribunal system.
