Testify Girard Ordered to Drive Japanese Away
Maebashi Japan Friday GRU Specialist William Girard faced testimony on orders to keep Japanese away from a firing range the day he allegedly killed a Japanese woman. Squad leader Fortenberry stated the area had long been cleared of Japanese during firing. Prosecution showed evidence including the rifle, grenade launcher and bloodstained papers. The trial opened with Girard denying intent, and the court ignored several prosecution statements. The army had offered monetary compensation to the victim’s husband, who refused the offer.
