Soldiers found guilty of abuse to appeal?

Now call me cynical, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were freed on appeal.

Was their prosecution just a political move to try show the critics how their behaviour would not be tolerated - even though, perhaps, this kind of thing is not really so unusual at all?
