LT. PANTANO’ S PLIGHT CONTINUES
I’m still following the case of Lt. Ilario Pantano, the Marine who may be charged with the death penalty for killing two Iraqi insurgents in the heat of battle in a terrorist-infested town near Baghdad. Today was the first day of a preliminary hearing known as an Article 32 investigation to determine whether there is enough evidence for a court-martial. Lt. Pantano could face death for actions he says he took in self-defense.
There’s fresh coverage of the hearing in the New York Times, Washington Post, and from NPR.
Lt. Pantano’s family runs a website about the case at Defend the Defenders.
Dateline NBC aired a report about Lt. Pantano last month.
