It’s over.
The general court martial of SSgt Frank D. Wuterich ended Monday morning with a plea deal.
Military Judge Lt. Col. David Jones told the court that the 31 year old father of 3 has agreed to accept a prosecution negotiated agreement to a guilty plea of negligent dereliction of duty.
More soon...
I’m saddened by it, but I’m not in his shoes.
I wonder which area Wuterich is accepting that he negligently did not do his duty: white car, houses, rooms, all of it, some of it???
I hope it’s to something that carries no penalty.
I would have let my attorneys present their case.
No way will I second guess this decision by Frank Wuterich. More than anything I am disappointed in the scumbag Pentagon for continuing to pursue this disgraceful prosecution for 6 years. It will be interesting to see the sentencing. I have to go puke now.
I think this news is worthy of Haditha list ping. Do you guys agree?
I realize we may be waiting for the preferred article, but given the significance of events, we could inline the ping here to inform the uninformed during the interim.
