: Legal Pad | LAMurder conviction dismissed against Marine
By Richard Binder
Yesterday a military appeals court threw out the murder conviction of Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III, a Marine serving time for the kidnapping and slaying of an Iraqi man. Six other and a Navy corpsman who were part of a squad led by Hutchins were also charged in the case.
The nine-member court said it based its decision on the improper dismissal of an attorney for Hutchins before his trial in 2007. The case is now back with the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps, which will decide whether to appeal the decision or order a retrial.
Hutchins was reduced in rank to private after his conviction. Thursday's ruling could restore his rank.
