Trials continue in death of Danny Chen

August 16, 2012 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

Here is the link to the NBC update

Excerpt:

Defense attorney Guy Womack says [Sgt Blaine] Dugas had no knowledge of any hazing or mistreatment of [Danny] Chen, who shot himself on Oct. 3 in a guard tower.

Two other soldiers already have been tried in the case. Spc. Ryan J. Offutt of Greenville, Pa., pleaded guilty to one count of hazing and two specifications of maltreatment in Chen’s death and was sentenced to six months in jail.

A jury found Sgt. Adam Holcomb of Youngstown, Ohio, guilty of maltreatment of a subordinate and assault consummated by battery, but cleared him of the most serious charge — negligent homicide.
