Fragging hearing postponed
-
- May
- 14
It’s happened again. A scheduled May 15 hearing in the murder trial of Staff Sgt. Alberto Martinez has been postponed. A brief press release from Fort Bragg gave no reason and offered no alternative date.
In about three weeks, the families of the victims — Army Capt. Phillip Esposito of Suffern and 1st Lt. Louis Allen of Milford, PA — will be observing the third anniversary of their slaying in Tikrit, Iraq. But the case is yet to come to trial. The delay has been a trial of patience for the families, especially the two widows who are raising young children and trying to get on with rebuilding their lives.
The trial is scheduled for early August, but at this rate it seems it, too, will be delayed.
