Attorney claims drug overdose blamed in recruit death trial
The first of three Marine drill instructors facing trial for the death of Pvt. Lyon McClure is under fire from his attorney who says a massive drug overdose may have caused the recruit's death after a close drill fight at the depot in Lufkin Texas. The trial, presided by Lt Col William B. Draper, includes questions of whether drugs were given and whether officials violated orders. Witnesses from the incident are expected to testify and cases for involuntary manslaughter assault and maltreatment are being heard.
