A federal judge ruled that GI William S. Girard cannot be turned over to Japan for trial. U S District Judge Joseph S. McGarraghy found delivering Girard for trial would violate constitutional rights and said he may be prosecuted in court martial proceedings since he remains in U S armed forces in Japan. The judge refused a habeas corpus writ and treated the filing as an injunction against removal.
