Military District of San Bernardino County

San Bernardino County hosts the military's most cherished clubhouse, Ft. Irwin, and several other bases, active and closed. The county population is rich in military denizens, their derelicts, offspring, misfits and buffs. With the consequent prevalence of the classic sociopathy found in these people, predation, exploitation, corruption and virtual tyranny have spread throughout our courts, law enforcement and government. Discuss the disgraceful prison and military industrial complexes here.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Prosecutors and defense lawyers argued over access to information at a hearing in the case of an Army master sergeant recalled to duty to be tried a third time on murder charges.

The Fayetteville Observer reported Tuesday a judge didn’t issue a ruling and set another hearing for March 31. The court-martial of 50-year-old Master Sgt. Timothy B. Hennis is scheduled to start in July.

Hennis was recalled to duty in 2006, after a new analysis of DNA evidence, so he could be charged in the 1985 slayings of 31-year-old Kathryn Eastburn and her two young daughters.

His initial conviction and death sentence in civilian state court for those deaths had been overturned on appeal, while a second jury acquitted him.
