Default Last defendant in Iraq war case to stand trial (AP)

AP - More than six years after Frank Wuterich led a squad that killed 24 Iraqis, including women and children, the 31-year-old Marine staff sergeant will stand trial on Friday.

Wuterich is the last defendant in the biggest and lengthiest criminal case against U.S. troops to arise from the Iraq War. The killings in Haditha on Nov. 19, 2005, are considered among the war's defining moments, further tainting America's reputation when it was already at a low point after the release of photos of prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison.

Wuterich is one of eight Marines initially charged. None has been convicted.
