An investigating officer at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington has recommended a court martial for the Wasilla solider accused of killing three civilians in Afghanistan. The recommendation now goes to the commander of the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division for a final decision on a military trial.
22-year-old Specialist Jeremy Morlock is one of five Lewis-McChord soldiers accused of killing civilians for sport in a recent Stryker brigade deployment. All have denied the accusations. They could face the death penalty if convicted.
Morlock was the first to have a pretrial hearing September 27 at the Army base near Tacoma.
