  Autopsy Shows Hamdanian Resident May Not Have Been Bound As Charged ...
Remember the seven Marines and the Navy Corpsman being held at Camp Pendleton, who are accused of kidnapping and killing an Iraqi man in Hamdania ... ?

New development -- the autopsy of the man has been completed -- and shows that he may not have been bound.

Excellent reporting from Teri Figuero of the NorthCarolinaTimes:
A completed autopsy report for an Iraqi man alleged to have been killed by a group of Camp Pendleton troops in April lacks conclusive evidence that the man's hands and feet were bound as the government alleges, an attorney for one of the defendants said Tuesday.

The lack of that finding, however, may be a result of decomposition of the body, which was exhumed for examination several weeks after the man was buried in Iraq.

The autopsy report, provided to attorney Joseph Casas and other defense attorneys Tuesday, concludes that Hashim Ibrahim Awad died from a homicide, he said.

Casas, who represents Pfc. John Jodka, declined to provide a copy of the report, citing legal reasons ...
Meanwhile, the Marines and the Navy corpsman remain in custody at Camp Pendleton. Dan Riehl wrote a pretty good breakdown of the legal process, and some of the pressures of the interrogation techniques on Monday. Click here for Pfc. John Jodka's dad's website, and to the Michael Savage website for photo's of the weekend rallies in support of the defendants.
