A military court has issued a new judgment in the case of First Lieutenant Ehren Watada, the first commissioned officer to refuse to serve in the Iraq War. On Friday, Lieutenant Colonel John Head ruled military officials have the right to charge Watada for a second time. Watada’s lawyers had argued a second trial would amount to double jeopardy. Watada’s first trial ended in a mistrial. Watada faces six years in prison if convicted.
