Regarding the charges and number of alleged victims, I haven't seen the revised charge sheet so I'm fiddling in the dark but...

The original charge sheet for all eight Marines (posted here) had nine specifications of Voluntary Manslaughter for SSgt Wuterich.

As you'll see at the link above, the specifications listed eight people by name (from houses 1, 2, and 3) and then the ninth specification gets vague: "willfully and unlawfully kill one or more unknown persons, located near a white car, at or near the intersection of Routes Chestnut and Viper, by shooting them with a loaded M16A4 service rifle."

Dela Cruz testified there were five at the car so that would give a total of 13. But I'll let you know if I get more up-to-date charge sheet or more information.

Thanks, Red. Those charges are the current ones....I was looking at an old charge/specification sheet. It seems the specific named voluntary manslaughter charges are for the 8 deaths in house 2 if you compare to the names listed in Wikipedia.

The 9th charge of vol. manslaughter is for one or more deaths of unknown persons near a white car, located near or at an intersection ..... Wow, nothing like being real specific in that last charge.
