MARINES -- HAMDANIA (26 April 2006)

Three more Hamdania defendants to face trial -- North County Times

On Monday, the last of the Article 32 hearings in the case was conducted. In court that day was the troops' platoon leader, Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III, whose attorneys agreed to let a Marine Reserve colonel rely on written Naval Criminal Investigative Service reports in deciding what should happen with their client. The hearing officer's report will go to Mattis next week.
