Military medical examiners scrutinized in Hatab case
At Camp Pendleton a pathologist's autopsy on Iraqi prisoner Hatab suggested strangulation as the cause of death, impacting nine Marines' courts martial. Evidence degraded after exposure to 126 degree heat and later resurfaced in labs, leaving questions about the hyoid bone and overall medical conclusions. Maj. Clarke Paulus faces up to 44 years, with Paulus alleged to have ordered Hatab dragged by the neck.
