Commander Lindsey briefly served as Judge Advocate General in between Admiral Brovo and the arrival of Admiral Chegwidden . He was not kept on the staff at JAG headquarters by Admiral Chegwidden and was appointed as an aide to the Secretary of the Navy, Alexander Nelson (it was later revealed that the Admiral had no confidence in his abilities). Commander Lindsey later engaged in an extra marital affair with Lieutenant Loren Singer who attempted to blackmail him when she fell pregnant. After receiving 5000 dollars from Lindsey, Singer slipped on ice and hit her head on a bridge railing. Commander Lindsey thought about calling for an ambulance but then decided to throw Singer over the bridge and attemptded to frame Commander Harmon Rabb for the crime. Rabb was subsequently charged with murder but was cleared when NCIS Special Agents Anthony DiNozzo and Vivian Blackadder found the real culprit. It is revealed during the interrogation of Lindsey that he was not the father of Lieutenant Singer's baby and she therefore had nothing on him. Commander Lindsey pled out to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to eight years in the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
