Appeals ruling clears way for Bowe Bergdahl case to resume

An appeals court has cleared the way for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's legal case to resume, rejecting prosecutors' arguments that defense attorneys were given too much leeway on accessing classified documents.

The United States Army Court of Criminal Appeals denied prosecutors' appeal in a ruling released late Saturday by defense attorneys.

Prosecutors had argued the military judge erred in a decision that "directs the unauthorized disclosure of classified information and grants the defense unfettered access to classified information," according to court documents.
