Justices Agree on Decision Unanimous ruling on foreign trial of GI Girard

The court said no constitutional bar and no law prevented foreign trials, and that Senate approval was effectively given. Critics urged Bow Resolution passage and a new inquiry. Girard, 21, Ottawa, Illinois, who declined U.S. legal aid, will be tried in Maebashi District Court on August 26. Defense will proceed with his chosen Japanese and Army lawyers.
