Unfolding Investigation of Seaman Angelina Resendiz’s Death
The investigation into the death of Seaman Angelina Resendiz continues to unfold, with a fellow Navy sailor now in pretrial confinement in connection to the case. While the suspect’s identity has not yet been officially released, Attorney Robert Canoy, a former military Judge Advocate now in private practice, confirmed that the individual is likely being held at the Naval Consolidated Brig in Chesapeake. Canoy explained the steps that follow in the military justice process, including an Initial Review Officer’s Hearing, Article 32 Preliminary Hearing, and potentially a court-martial, highlighting key differences between military and civilian courts—such as the absence of cash bonds and the allowance of non-unanimous verdicts.
