Court Martial Lawyer – Watada Off the Hook For Skipping Deployment
Written by KGMB9 News
First Lt. Ehren Watada will not face a second court martial for refusing to deploy to Iraq.
The Hawaii-born soldier was court-martialed in 2007 but the case ended in a mistrial.
The Dept. of Justice dropped its appeal of a judge’s decision that said retrying Watada on key charges would be double jeopardy.
He could still face punishment for charges of conduct unbecoming an officer.
