NEWPORT NEWS -- A Langley Air Force Base airman was charged with filing a false report that his wife had given birth to stillborn twins so he could return home from the Middle East. Madaka Newberne, 21, told his military command that he needed to go home to be with his wife, Frankie, 20. He arrived at his Newport News home Monday. The next day, the couple contacted police to report that their twins had died.

Must be a Democrat - he's a coward and willing to lie to save his ass.

Good, glad he is gone. If he stayed, he might be the type to throw grenades into his officers tent. Good ridance....and hope he rots in jail.

Most definitely a Democrat!

More:
Police started a routine death investigation and concluded the report was false, police spokesman Lou Thurston said Wednesday. The couple was unable to tell investigators where the babies were born, which doctor had delivered them and where their bodies were, Thurston said. Police learned later that the wife hadn't been pregnant.
Police arrested Newberne and charged him with filing a false report. Police charged the couple with obstructing justice, saying they wouldn't cooperate with investigators. Both were released on bond.

1. What the heck kinda name is Madaka?
2. Somebody's headed for a court martial...big time.
To: petitfour
I wouldn't have suspected an Airman to do this, it isn't like he would be on the frontline.
Shame on him, he discredits the Force!

This guy will face a court martial...with at least six different charges that I can think of. As for jail time, he will get at least four years in jail, with a dishonorable discharage. I'm sure the wife will be happy about that.
To: pepsionice
I am familiar with the UCMJ, I served 8 years in the AF. This guys wife had to have a lot to do with it. The womanly wiles of a lonely and upset wife can make a sex deficient husband do about anything to get back to his nookie.

hmmph. I guess its true...when one door closes another one opens. he must have really been desperate to get out of serving. and now he has a whole other problem to deal with.
To: oscharbob
I'll keep an eye out for it, but I bet this story will disappear.
To: oscharbob
