Girard Married Amid Dispute Over Case
Camp Whittington, Japan. William Girard and Haru Sueyama were wed in a simple church ceremony on base. Girard, 21, remains restricted at the camp as disputes continue over whether he will be tried in Japan or by the Army for the January killing of a Japanese woman on a firing range. An American congressman added fuel by claiming Army reports show Girard urged a fellow soldier to toss shell casings to lure the woman, a claim denied by Girard.
