A military court on Wednesday, Nov. 8, ruled to throw out the conviction of a U.S. Marine who urinated on the corpses of Taliban combatants in 2011, saying it appears that a top military official unfairly meddled in the case, reports the Washington Post.
The Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals announced the decision over half a decade after Staff Sergeant Joseph Chamblin was originally convicted of the offense, says USMC.
