NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 7 (UPI) -- An attorney for a Navy SEAL accused of abusing an Iraqi detainee says prosecutors want to delay her client's special court-martial in Norfolk, Va.
Attorney Monica Lombardi, who is representing Petty Officer 1st Class Julio Huertas Jr., said she opposes the prosecutors' request to have the trial set for next Monday rescheduled for March 29, The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot said Wednesday.
Along with Petty Officers 2nd Class Matthew McCabe and Jonathan Keefe, Huertas is accused of taking part in the mistreatment of Ahmed Hashim Abed following the Iraqi detainee's September capture.
Huertas stands accused of dereliction of duty, making a false statement and impeding an investigation.
Motions regarding the schedule for Huertas' court-martial will be heard by a military judge Monday, the Virginian-Pilot said.
