LAS VEGAS — An active-duty Navy SEAL was found guilty Friday in Nevada on 13 federal charges alleging he headed a scheme to sell machine guns, explosives and military hardware from Iraq and Afghanistan in the United States.
Petty Officer Nicholas Bickle stood straight in uniform while the verdict was read in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, then huddled afterward in the courtroom with his parents and sister.
Bickle’s attorney, James Pokorny, characterized Bickle and his family as “chagrined” at the verdict, which the lawyer acknowledged could lead to a dishonorable discharge from the Navy and lost benefits.
