San Diego Calif. - A military judge at Camp Pendleton on Tuesday dismissed charges against Lt.Col. Jeffeey Chessani, the highest-ranking officer accused in the deaths of 24 Iraqis in 2005 in the town of Haditha.
Col. Steven Folsom, the judge, made his ruling in response to the motion from defense attorneys charging that undue influence was excercised on the convening authority in the case. Folsom dismissed the charges without prejudice, meaning the Marine Corps could refile them.
