Girard case conviction amid Japan US military tension
The court upheld Girard's conviction on manslaughter charges after a grenade launcher incident on January 30. His lawyers argued he acted on guard duties, but hinted they would not appeal if the government does not. The verdict reinforces Japan's right to try him and fuels ongoing diplomatic frictions with the United States. Girard, seen with a faint smile, spent Monday night in barracks after a wife visit at Camp Drew near Tokyo. Candy, married July 1, voices concern as she awaits a ship assignment from Yokohama. Army officials would only confirm a military transport departs Yokohama Friday, with a 12 to 14 day Pacific crossing.
