The United States Military’s highest court recently overturned a
murder conviction against a Camp Pendleton Marine in one of the most
significant cases against American troops from the Iraq war. The
court’s decision is seen as a major accomplishment for military criminal
defenders of soldiers accused of committing Iraqi war crimes.
The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces threw out the conviction of Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III
of Plymouth, Mass., who has served about half of his 11-year sentence.
Sgt. Hutchins was part of an eight-man squad who was accused of
kidnapping an Iraqi man from his home, marching him into a ditch and
then shooting him to death in 2006.
