An innocent man was killed, but it says a great deal about the standards of our military that an investigation was initiated and due process has been followed for those who conspired or took his life.

I question your supposition of him being "an innocent man". There have been many details exposed that indicated that the town was awash in insurgents and their supporters, and the Marines were under constant attack and harassment.
You want cops, send in the Blue Helmets. You engage in war -- fight it like one.

An innocent man was killed,...
The problem with this case is neither the Marines, NCIS, nor the prosecution knows who was killed. He may be a suspected insurgent. Only when the cases went to trial was it found out the prosecution can't identify the Iraqi who was killed as an "innocent" man.

An innocent man was killed,
The Marines believed he was an insurgent. I trust their battlefield judgement more than that of arm chair 2d guessers back in the states.
The man was not innocent. Otherwise, there's no way that Magic's teammate could have been sentenced to just the BCD Special. After all, he was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder.
