The Marine Corps dropped espionage charges against Cpl. Arnold Bracy of Queens, freeing him from the Quantico brig after finding evidence insufficient for court. Bracy, 21, was arrested at Twenty Nine Palms and had confessed under pressure but recanted, his lawyers claiming coercion. The move follows the earlier dismissal of Sgt. Clayton Lonetree’s most serious charges.
