He is being prosecuted in civilian court because he is no longer in the Marine Corps and was not subject to recall to service.

How does a civilian court claim enough jurisdiction to bring charges like this? He wasn't on a tropical island, lying on the beach, and committed a prosecutable act. How does the local judiciary claim jurisdiction over the military acting oversees?

This case has been up before. Last time it came out that radio traffic and other evidence did a lot to refute the claims made by the whiner that started this crap.

Either something else got dredged up out of the abyss of invented evidence or someone’s just doing old fashioned witch hunting.

How does a civilian court have any jurisdiction over “crimes” that occur in foreign countries? Isn’t that like getting charged for speeding in a New York court for driving 75mph in Nevada?
