Court Takes Up Drowning Of Recruits At Parkris Island
The general court martial of 5 Sgt Matthew C McKeon opened on Parkris Island as the defense moved to sever drinking charges from the case. McKeon faces manslaughter in the April 8 drowning of six Marine recruits and additional counts including oppression of recruits and possession of alcohol. Defense attorney Emile Berman argued the drinking charges are minor and should not be heard by the court. Navy Capt J N Klein heard arguments as the panel was excused. McKeon appeared tense in court as officials debated how the case should proceed. The trial centers on whether Marines past disciplinary methods justified the deaths and if McKeon followed then-existing customs. The matter began at 9 and recessed at 4:45 to resume later.
