From Times Wire Reports
A sergeant’s admission that he rolled grenades into the tents of sleeping soldiers in Kuwait last year will be admissible when he goes on trial in the attack that killed two officers, a military judge ruled at Ft. Bragg.
The ruling by Col. Stephen Henley came at a pretrial hearing for Sgt. Hasan Akbar, 33, of the 101st Airborne Division. Henley also granted Akbar’s lawyers a delay in his trial from Feb. 15 to April 5 so they could gather more documentation for an insanity defense.
