ST. CHARLES, Mo. (KSDK) - The trial is over, but a St. Charles family says justice was not served for their son.

Nic Moses, 26, was a green beret who had served in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he was killed by a fellow soldier last year in Tennessee.

Even though his killer was convicted, the family is outraged by the outcome.

Benjamin Schweitzer could have spent decades in prison for killing Nic Moses and shooting at two police officers, hitting one during a standoff. But, instead he may be in prison for as little as two years and the family is hoping their outrage in St. Charles will reach the courts in Tennessee.

The shooting happened in March of last year in Clarksville, Tennessee, not far from Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
