Court Clears Way For Japan to Try Soldier Girard
The Supreme Court 8-0 cleared the way for Japan to try GI William S. Girard for manslaughter by upholding the status of forces agreement with Japan. The decision allows Japan to try the case after the United States waived its right to try Girard by U S Army court martial. The ruling notes there is no constitutional barrier to the waiver and defers wisdom of the arrangement to the executive and legislative branches.
