US Marine gets life for rape, Manila

Tweet

A Philippine court found one of four U.S. Marines guilty of raping a Filipino woman inside a van at a former U.S. navy base last year, sentencing the 21-year-old sailor to life in prison for "bestial acts". Less than two hours after the ruling, a U.S. navy plane whisked the three acquitted Marines out of the Philippines to rejoin their unit in Okinawa, Japan. "This has been a difficult and emotional matter for all involved, and for their families and friends," the U.S. embassy, which had kept custody of the four Marines during the case, said in a statement. Do you think the descision by US to save these people is moral?I Think they should have been punished in philippines itself for what they have done http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2006-12-04T095814Z_01_MAN4909_RTRUKOC_0_US-PHILIPPINES-RAPE-USA.xml&pageNumber=0&imageid=&cap=&sz=13&WTModLoc=NewsArt-C1-ArticlePage2
