(Family photo via DFP) A military judge has denied an attempt by the attorneys representing a former Parris Island drill instructor at his upcoming court-martial to exclude evidence of a recruit’s death. Gunnery Sgt. Joseph A. Felix is accused of slapping recruit Raheel Siddiqui moments before he leapt to his death, and ordering another Muslim recruit to sit in a commercial dryer as Felix turned it on and insulted the recruit’s religion. Felix has been charged cruelty and maltreatment, drunk and disorderly conduct, failure to obey a lawful general order and obstruction of justice. His trial is slated for Oct. 30 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

President Donald Trump s controversial pardons of former Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and the so-called Blackwater Four were in line with the clemency he has previously afforded to combat veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to military law experts both for and against his actions.
The pardons for Hunter, a Marine veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the four contractors for the former Blackwater Worldwide security firm were among a total of 15 pardons and five commutations announced by the White House on Tuesday night.

For many in the United States and Iraq, the name “Blackwater” has become synonymous with a deadly 2007 episode that killed 17 innocent civilians and wounded 24. The massacre at Nisour Square in Baghdad was one of the most indelible events of the Iraq War, drawing widespread condemnation, including from human rights organizations and the Iraqi government.
Four men who worked for the American private security firm then known as Blackwater were found guilty in U.S. federal court of murder and manslaughter and sentenced to prison for the shootings. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump granted them full pardons, praising them for “a long history of service to the nation.” Trump said that the move was “broadly supported by the public,” and named a FOX News host and nine House Republicans as among the pardon’s proponents.
