Court ruling may become legal classic says Marlow
James Marlow analyzes the Supreme Court decision that civilians abroad cannot be tried by military courts for murder, freeing two women who killed their soldier husbands.

It notes Justice Black's majority opinion and Justice Clark's dissent, and questions who would try overseas civilian defendants and how treaties might adapt.
