AP reports here (via the Provo Daily Herald), that the hazing related court-martial of LCpl. Carlos Orozco, III, began yesterday in Kaneohe Bay:

A trial begins this week for a third Marine accused of hazing a lance corporal who later committed suicide at their base in Afghanistan.

Lance Cpl. Carlos Orozco III is accused of putting his foot on the back of Lance Cpl. Harry Lew, ordering him to do push-ups, and pouring sand in Lew’s face.

Orozco has been charged with assault, humiliating Lew, and cruelty and maltreatment.

Still no referral of charges after an IO recommended court-martial in the other hazing related case out of Afghanistan, this one related to the suicide of Army PVT Danny Chen.  Local report here.

Former Navy SEAL gets Other-Than-Honorable discharge in anticipation of civilian charges of arms smuggling of AK-47s from Afghanistan.  See report from UPI here and our prior coverage of SO1 Bickle’s case here and here.
