Fox News
U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Mario Madera-Rodriguez was convicted Thursday night on several charges, including conspiracy to commit assault and battery, to obstruct justice, involuntary manslaughter, hazing and false statements.
Melgar died of strangulation during an alleged hazing incident in Mali four years ago. Two senior Navy SEALs and two Marines were allegedly involved in the 2017 hazing incident, but only Madera-Rodriguez went to trial. In his closing statement, Madera-Rodriguez’s defense attorney, Marine Lt. Col. Timothy Kuhn, said that the Marine didn’t touch Melgar until he tried to revive him, saying, "Facts have been manipulated and moved around like a puzzle to fit the government’s theory."More Related News
