No jail for marine in Haditha massacre case

A US marine accused of leading a massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians has been spared jail by a military judge. Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich was one of eight marines charged with the killings in the Iraqi city of Haditha in 2005. Charges against six were dropped or dismissed and one acquitted. The prosecution argued that Wuterich lost control after seeing a friend blown up, he then led the soldiers under his command on a killing spree.
