Retrial Underway for Marine in Slaying of Iraqi Civilian

HeadlineJun 11, 2015

A retrial is underway for a U.S. marine in the 2006 killing of an Iraqi civilian. The victim, Hashim Ibrahim Awad, was dragged from his home, shot, and then planted with a weapon to make it appear he was planning an attack. Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins had been the only one of seven U.S. servicemembers involved in the killing to receive a murder conviction. But his conviction was overturned in 2010 on the grounds his attorneys were improperly dismissed before trial.
