FORT HOOD, Texas -- The Army scheduled a hearing for next week to decide whether to court-martial Pfc. Lynndie England in the Iraqi prisoner abuse case, Fort Hood officials said Thursday.
England, a West Virginia reservist whose guilty plea was rejected this month by a military judge, has been charged with seven counts arising from abuse of Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in late 2003.
The new "Article 32" hearing, set to begin Tuesday, is the military equivalent of a grand jury investigation. An officer will receive evidence from both prosecutors and the defense and make a recommendation on whether to send the case to a court-martial.
It will be the second Article 32 hearing for England; the first one was held last August at Fort Bragg, N.C. The legal process is starting over because of the failed plea deal.
