Many here on Free Republic have followed and supported the many cases involving soldiers and Marines. I wanted to post this to convey a sense of how much that supports means.

There's still much ahead. The trials of LtCol Chessani, SSgt Wuterich, and Lt Graryson are expected to commence late this spring through the summer. The Fallujah trials may commence by late summer or early fall. In the Iskandariyah case, the effort to secure clemency for Sgt Evan Vela is still ongoing.

My thanks to all members of the Haditha Marine Ping List and to everyone here at Free Republic who takes part in our threads. God bless!

The costs (not including time) in prosecuting legal cases would break almost any soldier or his/her family. Yet, the military prosecutors and their costs come out of the military budget.

Why can’t there be a fund in that same military budget that would afford the charged soldier to retain independent competent legal assistance? Our soldiers deserve to go into a court battle armed and funded as well as the ‘enemy.’
