US military jury finds Marine not guilty of all charges in hazing trial of fellow corporal
KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii - A military jury has decided a Marine is not guilty of hazing a fellow lance corporal who killed himself in Afghanistan.
The panel of three officers and five enlisted Marines found Lance Cpl. Carlos Orozco III not guilty Friday in a court-martial at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
He was acquitted of charges involving the assault, cruel treatment and humiliation of Lance Cpl. Harry Lew, of California. Lew was a nephew of Democratic Rep. Judy Chu.
Lew fatally shot himself with his machine-gun at their Afghanistan patrol base last April.
Orozco is the last of three Marines to be court-martialed for the alleged hazing of Lew. Another lance corporal last month pleaded guilty to assault. A jury found their squad leader not guilty of humiliating and demeaning Lew.
