Frank Wuterich Military person
Frank Wuterich (born 1980) is a United States Marine. On November 19, 2005, he led his men in the Haditha killings, where he and fellow Marines opened fire, resulting in the death of 24 civilians, after a Marine had died in an insurgent attack. Originally charged with murder, the charges were later reduced to involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, and on January 23, 2012 Wuterich pled guilty to a single count of negligent dereliction of duty as part of an plea agreement with military prosecutors. In exchange, all other charges were dropped. Wuterich was sentenced on January 24 and convicted to forfeiture of two-thirds of pay for three months and reduction in rank from staff sergeant to private.
