Stars and Stripes: Hearing begins for airman whose case was removed from Franklin
Stars and Stripes reports:
Against the objection of defense attorneys, the Air Force on Tuesday took another crack at prosecuting an alleged rape thrown out by a general at the center of the controversy over military sexual assault.
An Article 32 probable cause hearing began Tuesday for Airman First Class Brandon T. Wright, charged with raping a female sergeant in July 2012 when both were stationed at Aviano Air Base, Italy.
After a previous investigation of the case, Third Air Force Commander Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin in August declined to prosecute Wright.
