Fragging case test at Bien Hoa court martial unfolds
The defense rested at Pvt. Billy D. Smith's Vietnam era court martial for alleged fragging at Bien Hoa Army base on March 15, 1971. Prosecution rebuttals focused on witness accounts and Capt. Randall Rigby’s leadership as Col. Robert Stevenson described him as capable and fair. Smith testified denying any plan to unleash fragmentation grenades on officers, claiming no intent to harm.
