Cpl Rob Pennington is now a free man. He recently took a plea bargain for a murder charge, testified against his fellow Marines, and is not free.
Only Sgt Hutchin's is in Jail.
8 Men, all charged with Murder, Kidnapping, Assault, whatever...now one is left in jail, the rest are free.
That doesn't happen if they had evidence.

I guess I am guilty of expecting people to all be up on this, sorry.
Cpl Pennington is the last Marine held in the brig at Camp Pendleton, California, who took a plea bargain in the Pendleton 8 case, Hamdania.
Rob testified at the remaining courts martials, including Sgt Hutchins, who is the ONLY one who got convicted.
The outrage here is, that if they committed the crime as accused, NO ONE would be ut of the brig now, they would all be there still.

Cpl Rob Pennington is now a free man. He recently took a plea bargain for a murder charge, testified against his fellow Marines, and is not free. I think a lot of the confusion is that this should read:

Am I reading that right?

Race, I thought Sgt. Hutchins only went through the Art. 32 hearing. Has he already been court-martialed?

Actually, the confusion stems from the plans for him to sit in jail for the next 8 years.

Low said prosecutors never proved that the victim was an innocent civilian. Low, who traveled to Hamdania, said he had uncovered evidence suggesting Awad likely was an insurgent, including that he was identified on a Marine suspects list as being a marksman nicknamed the "karma sniper."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/10/AR2007081000509.html

There’s no annual fee for membership to that club, Fudd. Not in this case, anyway. “Murder” victim unknown.

no annual fee unless on is a Marine, I should say. They pay the dues.

Hutchins was sentenced to 15 years last week. He was the only one to complete his courts martial without any offer of a plea bargain, all others were offered plea bargains.
Pennington’s plea bargain was 8 years if he agreed to testify against his fellow Marines.

These Marines and so many others have been royally screwed over. It is absolutely disgusting.
