The court-martial of S.Sgt Harold L Bronson hears a claim the death of Lynn McClure was caused by an overdose of streptomycin and gentamycin rather than a training beating. The 30 year old instructor faces charges of assault negligent homicide and maltreatment related to a December drill incident. McClure from Lufkin Texas died after brain surgery in San Diego and a later death in Houston. Two other drill sergeants in the platoon also face charges though none are accused of delivering the fatal blows.
