Mass arrest of 16 Marines for human smuggling found to be 'unlawful': The July arrests of 16 U.S. Marines on charges related to human smuggling and drug trafficking were found to be unlawful by a military judge this week.
An attorney for one of the accused Marines asserted that the decision prevented the men from missing out on a fair trial.
"It sends a signal to the government," lawyer Bethany Payton-O’Brien said. "I’m not going to tolerate, and we should not tolerate, a command basically imposing the verdict before the court is ever held."
