Charges Not Filed Against Naval Academy Graduate

San Diego, CA-- In the largest criminal case involving civilian deaths to come out of the Iraq war, Attorney Jeremiah J. Sullivan, III was retained by a Naval Academy graduate to represent his interests. Last year, Marines were accused of the killings of 24 Iraqi civilians during a door-to-door sweep in the town of Haditha.

Attorney Sullivan met at length with the lead prosecutor during the course of the investigation. Subsequently, four Marine Corps Officers and four enlisted Marines were charged with violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The government did not file court martial charges against Attorney Sullivan’s client.
