Appeals Court Rules Foreign Country Can Try Service Persons
The U S Court of Appeals ruled a foreign country may try U S military personnel for crimes abroad, specifically Japan to try three Marines. It affirmed U S jurisdiction only when the host nation ceded it, noting Japan generally can try Americans for crimes against civilians while U S retains jurisdiction for military offenses on American bases. The decision upholds dismissal of a habeas corpus petition for Marines Set, Reice Cozart, Mack Makarenko, and Gerald Garman, and counters claims of blanket immunity from foreign courts.
