Three Republican congressmen have taken up the cause of Clint Lorance, a jailed former Army lieutenant fighting to overturn his murder conviction by a U.S. military court for killing two Afghan men in a war zone.
The lawmakers sent a letter Tuesday to Secretary of the Army John McHugh alerting him that they were closely following the appeals process and pressing court officers to review new evidence in Lorances case, which hinges on whether he violated the rules of engagement for the war zone.
It is our belief, based on information brought to our attention, that Lorances case requires further review, wrote the lawmakers, led by California Rep. Duncan Hunter, a Marine combat veteran.
The new evidence purportedly shows that the two Afghan men who were shot on Lorances orders could have been involved in planting improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, according to the letter.
