Hawaii-Based Marine In Hazing Case Goes To Trial

KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii January 30, 2012, 04:12 am ET

KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii (AP) — A Hawaii-based lance corporal accused of hazing a fellow Marine who committed suicide at their remote outpost in Afghanistan will appear in court after agreeing to a plea bargain.

Lance Cpl. Jacob D. Jacoby has been charged with assaulting, threatening, and humiliating Lance Cpl. Harry Lew, who killed himself on April 3.

Jacoby was referred to a general court-martial, but he will instead appear in a special court martial — which handles less serious crimes — at a Marine base in Hawaii on Monday after reaching a plea agreement.

Two other Marines have also been accused of hazing Lew and face courts-martial.

Sgt. Benjamin Johns, the leader of the squad the Marines belonged to, and Lance Cpl. Carlos Orozco III will each have their own separate courts-martial at later dates.
