Convicted, dismissed and happy

rivas3 When I talked to Capt. Candy Rivas this afternoon, she was laughing and we talked of finally having our long-planned dinner, now that she expects to be released from her three year detention.

She didn’t sound like someone who had just been convicted.

Candy was convicted this morning of “Conduct unbecoming of an officer and gentleman” for harboring and concealing Capt. Nicanor Faeldon who had escaped from his prison cell in Fort Bonifacio in December 2005.” The punishment is dismissal from military service.
