I always wondered why they acted like they could only clear Starbuck before Tribunal. the original ep implied that they were only allowed to do so before the trial and not after. If he were found guilty and then the real killer found 2 weeks later wouldn't Starbuck's record be cleared and him released and reinstated with a full apology? I would hope so.
of course I doubt Apollo and Boomer (or Adama) wanted Starbuck even briefly humiliated. But if he was convicted and imprisoned and cleared later Starbuck would surely love the big party thrown him after his return to the Galactica.
