Marine Corps' Iraq killing appeal heard in US
None
The Marine Corps has asked an appeals court to reinstate the conviction of a Camp Pendleton Marine over the killing of an unarmed Iraqi.
Attorneys argued before a military court of appeals Wednesday at the San Diego County base. Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III spent fours years in a military prison after being convicted of murdering a retired Iraqi policeman in 2006. Authorities say the man was dragged from his home in Anbar province and shot by Marines who then framed him as an insurgent. (AP)
