CAMP PENDLETON ---- A military judge has dismissed charges against a Marine officer accused of failing to investigate the killings of 24 Iraqis.
Col. Steven Folsom dismissed charges Tuesday against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani after defense attorneys raised concerns that a four-star general overseeing the prosecution was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the November 2005 shootings by a Marine squad in Haditha.
The charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled, but Folsom excluded Marine Forces Central Command from future involvement.
Chessani was the highest-ranking officer implicated in the case.

This is just another case that exposes the INTERNAL enemies of America. Not only was McCarthy right, he grossly underestimated the number of them. It is sickening when you realize that our military protects these scum in our society....such a gross injustice.

Good News AT LAST !!
Thank you Jaz for the info; now I hope that Wunterich is similarly resolved, and they all regroup and go on the offensive to clean out the maggots infesting JAG and NCIS/CID.

The only part that bothers me is the “without prejudice” part. According to a defense attorney, the scumbag prosecutors have previously said that they WILL refile charges against Chessani if the UCI is upheld by Folsom.

YIPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cue the dancers!!!!
Charge Murtha NOW!
