Justice was done.

Sgt. Hutchins was convicted by a jury of Iraq vets. Trust the Corps.

The story in the LA Times: Marine sergeant gets 15 years in Iraqi's killing

CAMP PENDLETON -- The Marine sergeant accused of being the ringleader in a plot to kidnap and execute an Iraqi man last year was sentenced today to a dishonorable discharge and 15 years in prison.

The military jury's sentencing of Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins came just hours after a separate jury sentenced Cpl. Marshall Magincalda to demotion to private and to 448 days in prison in the same case.

[RaceBannon]

you know nothing

We have been talkng to the family

The statements they held against Hutchins were coerced under duress

2 of his fellow Marines testified to just that

Evidence that they were following orders was destroyed and Lt Phan testified to that

Aerial UAV footage was denied to the defense

the body did not match the description given by the family whiuch was paid $25,000

So, you can take you JUSTICE SERVED comment and stick it.

Please, don’t ping everyone with every response.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping, Race.

[RaceBannon]

I didn’t

[lilycicero]

I will take aim in disappointment by certain ‘know it alls’ on this thread.
It is not a far reach for me to say I certainly feel for him, his wife and his child.

[Leatherneck_MT]

Not on that flimsy friggin evidence I won’t trust the Corp. Or the asshats in the government that pushed it.

[jazusamo]

Prayers for Sgt. Hutchins and his family.

[vox humana]

I have seen the enemy and it is us.

The PC JAGs are doing everything they can to demoralize our troops. War is hell. Bad things happen.

If these morons had been around during WWII, we would all be speaking either German or Japanese today.

Very sad day for Sgt Hutchins, his wife, Reyna, and their child. From the North County Times Sergeant sentenced to 15 years for role in Hamdania killing

On learning his prison sentence, Hutchins sat down in his chair and put his head on the table in front of him. Sitting right behind him in the audience, his wife Reyna Hutchins put her head down to her knees. She sobbed throughout the rest of the short hearing, as the couple's 2-year-old daughter quietly sang to herself in a chair behind her mother.

At the end, as they were walking out, Hutchins put his arm around his wife, kissed her hard on the side of the face and whispered in her ear.

Is this what the government and Corps really mean when they say...Serve Your Country?

With friends like that....
