Murder Charges Dropped Against US Marine in Haditha Killings
By
Voice of America News
Murder charges have been dropped against a U.S. Marine accused of killing three Iraqi civilians in Haditha in 2005.
Military officials announced the decision in a written ruling Thursday saying charges against Marine Lance Corporal Justin Sharratt had been withdrawn. The ruling from a lieutenant general, James Mattis, said the murder charges did not support a referral to a court-martial.
The decision follows a recommendation made last month by an investigator who said the charges should be dropped because of unsupported evidence.
Sharratt was accused of killing three Iraqi brothers in response to a roadside bombing in the Iraqi city.
Military officials say, following the bombing in which one Marine was killed, the Marines went on a rampage, killing 24 Iraqi men, women, and children.
