Past Cases
Specialist Mario Lozano, US Army
Cleared by the American military of any wrong doing, SPC Lozano is now fighting against charges put forth by the Italian government which is seeking his extradition for a trial in absentia scheduled for May 14, 2007, for charges which stem from a March 4, 2005 incident along Baghdad's notorious Route Irish.
PFC Edward L. Richmond, US Army
After 9/11, Edward dropped his studies as a Freshman at the University of Louisiana to join the Army. The Richmond family had a long history of military service, and Edward thought it his duty to volunteer to defend his country after it had been attacked.
Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano, USMC
The Marine Corps dropped all charges yesterday against 2nd Lt. Ilario Pantano, whom the Corps had accused of premeditated murder for shooting two Iraqi insurgents operating in the Triangle of Death south of Baghdad last year.
