Marine guilty in slaying linked to Vietnam patrol
Marine Cpl. Stanley J. Luczko Jr. 22 was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 1966 shooting of an elderly Vietnamese woman near Chu Lai. He received three years at hard labor and a bad conduct discharge after Navy Board of Review overturned a life sentence due to legal errors. He admitted firing as a reflex during a patrol, then burned the body as a warning to the Viet Cong.
