Victory! – Lt. Watada is not going to jail tomorrow, next week or next month.
Lt. Watada’s case ended in a mistrial. Ehren has not been found guilty and his attorney Eric Seitz thinks it is unlikely the case will be re-tried. A new trial has been scheduled to begin on March 19 – the Fourth Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq – the judge couldn’t have given us a better day to organize against the illegal war and occupation!
Watch the video of the Eric Seitz press conference on YouTube.
Read Marjorie Cohn’s article in Media With Conscience News, “Watada Beats the Government”.
