It would be interesting if Cain and her crew where brought before the JAG office for the crimes which they may of commited what sentence other than a Dishonorable Discharge would they get via a general courtmartial if found guilty?

I'm thinking Chegwiden would lay the smack down.

But this raises the question: would Cain and the crew of the Pegasus have acted the same if they thought they would later have been made to account for thier actions to a higher authority?
Spoiler:Considering the fact that they showed no remorse for their actions once they found the fleet, I doubt they would have conducted themselves differently. Not only did they show no remorse, they even bragged about systematic rape and torture to the crew of the Galactica.
It's a tough issue, because humans are capable of deplorable acts even in the best of circumstances, let alone in such dire ones. My guess would be that some of the crew would have behaved differently, but not all.

I think the most important question here why did admiral Cain not report to Ragnare Station like all the civilian ships did with the galactica. I know that I am not a vet but when an unforseen event happens the first thing you do is gather intel. So Cain should of heard Adama say to the rest of the fleet to regroup at Ragnare Station.

We are way beyond courts-martial here because their is no military to speak of outside of the two battlestars. Admiral Cain is the highest convening authority in existence, effectively negating the military justice system writ large. Some sort of special tribunals from the constitutional Colonial government are the only means of exerting law enforcement authority over Pegasus.

While some use this unexpected correlation as proof of intelligent design, I believe that its all about the person's choice of mushrooms.
I also believe that there is a tear developing in the space-time continuum which if left uncheck will allow Microsoft to become a world power. I suspect that unless we all download Firefox 3 on the same day, thus sealing the tear, that life as we know it may be over and children will have their teddy bears and blankets ripped mercilessly from their arms.

Clearly how ever you cut this legal matter certain crimes will be unpunished while others depending on the evidance presented most of the crew of the Pegasus will recieve a Dishonorable Discharge while few officers may have to do some time in prison including Admiral Cain and the others get to walk free with maybe a mark on their service record. One thing is certain it would an interesting court case if the writers of BSG wanted to do this.

Considering their limited resources they need all of the personel they can get, even psychopaths. Executions and long-term imprisionments are out of the question. I doubt the Astral Queen has the space for an entire Battlestar Crew and Adama certainly doesn't have enough spare personel to crew the Pegasus. The best and most fitting punishment would be to let Cain remain in the service but bust her down to Ensign. It would be torture for someone who is so used to being in command. She may be able to stage a mutiny with the adherants of her personality cult but such humilation would make her politically weaker. I would recomend giving Tigh command of the Pegasus, but I wouldn't wish that crew on him. It would be better to just promote the Pegasus' current XO
