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.

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:

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 now free.

Am I reading that right?

That these men were charged at all tells me that the Corps is rotten.

I did 8 years in the Corps.

I say that it is rotten and I would cripple my child before I saw him sign up to a Corp that will not take care of it's own.

Be thankful, Race, that Lt. Gen. Mattis has done the right thing here. This isn't about any of us FReepers. This is about a Marine getting his freedom. This is about a family getting their son back. Maybe Lt. Gen. Mattis can get his Marines back in order if he can put a stop to what NCIS is capable of doing in the future to investigate non-crimes. He should be an expert by now since too many of these media driven court cases happened under his watch. For tonight, Rob Pennington is a free man. SO.....

THANKYOU LT. GEN. MATTIS FOR RELEASING ROB PENNINGTON!

Maybe they should never been in the brig. But tonight, be happy for the Pennington family. Be thankful that Lt. Gen. Mattis has done the right thing for HIS Marine.
