This week, a military judge is considering the defense motion to dismiss the charges for denial of Wuterich’s right to detailed defense counsel. The ruling is expected next week. The final Haditha trial of the last Marine from the original 8 charged was scheduled to begin on September 13, 2010.

The defense team for SSgt Wuterich submitted a motion on August 25th based on the recent U.S. Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals ruling on the murder conviction of Marine Sgt Hutchins (see U.S. v Hutchins III, Docket # 200800393, 4/22/10). The court overturned the Hutchins conviction and released him from prison based on the government’s violation of his statutory right to military counsel. The government is appealing that ruling to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

Good Afternoon:

I wanted to update you on the status of my son (the former SGT Justin Boyle’s case)

His clemency was denied by COL Johnny Johnston ( no surprise) and we have moved to appeals.

I have hired Gary Meyers to do my son’s appeal and he was kind enough to begin the case with only 3500. (that is all I have at the moment) I promised to get the rest of the money to him (15,000) as soon as possible.

I know that my son’s case does not qualify for assistance from you, but I was wondering if you could possibly post something on your site about my son’s current status.

All the information is on the web site http://justice4justin.org/ and on facebook on Justin’s profile page:

and on the group page

Anything that you could do to help me and my soldier would be greatly appreciated.
