It's a disgrace that these Marines are not being treated
justly.

Requests for evidence needed to prepare for their defense continues to be denied.

FRiends....please ping your military ping lists we need to speak up for these Marines!

Excerpt:

In the notice, the Marine Corps said that it intended to call each man as a witness to testify against his squad mates in the alleged premeditated kidnapping and murder of 52-year-old Hashim Ibrahim Awad on April 26 in Hamdania, Iraq.

Seigel's co-counsel, Joseph Casas, said the notification of the government's intention is part of its legal strategy. Once Jodka or the other men invoke the military equivalent of their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, that opens the door for prosecutors to use hearsay statements each may have made.

I wish I understood more of this legal mumbo jumbo.

I did not know the body had been exhumed.
