Military’s Highest Court Denies Government Request on Convicted War Criminal

The military’s highest court has denied a government request to reconsider the overturned murder conviction of a Marine who has served more than half his 11-year sentence in one of the Iraq war’s biggest war crime cases.

Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins, III, of Plymouth, Massachusetts, will be released from a brig at a California Marine base soon, and his military defense attorney is pleased with military appeals court’s decision.

In June 2013, the military appeals court found Hutchins’ rights were violated when he was held in solitary confinement and interrogated without access to an attorney for seven days.
