Court OKs Japan trial for U S Army man Girard

The decision holds no constitutional barrier to surrendering trial jurisdiction to Japan, with the executive and legislative branches determining the policy. The ruling notes the habeas corpus hearing would not be granted and cites a defense affidavit about the alleged enticement.
