All,
Here's an update from Puckett and Faraj's site on todays motion hearings:

Judge David Jones ruled for Defense by dismissing some of the charges SSgt Frank Wuterich faces in his general court-martial. Three counts of reckless endangerment by firing a weapon where civilian deaths occurred have been dropped. The judge also dismissed a charge of obstruction of justice alleging that SSgt Wuterich encouraged one of his Marines to lie to investigators. Since the case began in 2006, the law has changed regarding how certain charges must be alleged on a charge sheet and the government failed to properly plead those charges.

Slainte,
