Court-martial

A Court-martial is a military court.

If found guilty a person can get off with a simple discharge or face time in a military prison.

In 1998, Major Louis Ferretti was sent after SG-1, who went to the Stargate coordinates they obtained from an Alternate reality, to bring them back for a court-martial.

When SG-1 traveled back in time to 1969, Colonel Jack O'Neill shot Lt. George S. Hammond with a Zat'nik'tel in order to save him from a court-martial.

In 2008, when Lt. Colonel John Sheppard lead a rescue mission to Michael's cruiser to save Teyla Emmagan against orders he told Colonel Samantha Carter she could court-martial him if he survived.
