Another weak case crumbles in the “Cold Blooded Killers” Haditha case. John Murtha is still “hoping someone gets convicted” He should be ashamed…
Andrew Grayson has been aquitted on all counts
Grayson’s attorney, Joseph Casas, said he believed the verdict could influence pending prosecutions.
“I think it sets the tone for the overall whirlwind Haditha has been. It’s been a botched investigation from the get-go,” he said. “I believe in the end all of the so-called Haditha Marines who still have to face trial will be exonerated.”…
Four enlisted Marines initially were charged with murder and four officers were charged with failing to investigate the deaths. Charges were dropped against five of the Marines.
Still to face court-martial are Wuterich, of Meriden, Conn., whose charges include voluntary manslaughter, and Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, of Rangely, Colo., who has been charged with dereliction of duty and violation of a lawful order on allegations he mishandled the aftermath of the killings.
Grayson and Wuterich pleaded not guilty. Chessani has said he didn’t order a formal investigation because he believed the deaths resulted from lawful combat. He has not entered a plea because in the military system that is not usually done until motions hearings are completed and a court-martial is about to start.
