..."When he argued for the unaired material, the prosecutor, Capt. Nicholas Gannon, said Wuterich "apparently admits in an unaired segment that he did in fact order his men to 'shoot first and ask questions later.' "
Wuterich is charged with nine counts of voluntary manslaughter and related offenses for slayings that took place in Haditha, Iraq, on Nov. 19, 2005...."
Solis said the 18 months of Haditha prosecutions have become "a debacle."
"Justice has become elusive," he said. "Charges against the battalion commander are dropped for reasons having nothing to do with his conduct in the case. While there was reason to justify the latest dropped charges, it becomes difficult to maintain that as a whole the Haditha case is approaching a just conclusion."
That said, Solis maintained the Marine Corps was right to charge the case as it did, pointing to multiple investigations that concluded wrongdoing led to the deaths of innocent men, women and children and that commanders largely ignored the carnage.
"The acquittals and the dismissals of charges are the workings of the military justice system," he said. "It isn't perfect, but no justice system is."

Murders are going free because of technicalities and cover up, as illiterate pig fkers applaude.
