According to Stars & Stripes<\/a>, Okinawan politicians want to charge III Marine Expeditionary Force commander Lt. Gen. Lawrence Nicholson, Camp Smedley D. Butler\u2019s headquarters and support battalion commander Col. William DePue and a group of unidentified Marines because a bullet was fired that went outside of the range fan at a small arms range and struck an unoccupied shed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis incident happened in Japan, and on Japanese soil; we should be able to apply Japanese law and bring justice,\u201d said Ichiro Miyagi, a member of the Social Democratic Party and one of the complaint\u2019s nine signatories.<\/p>\n

Police have a few days to determine whether there is enough evidence to pursue the case. They declined to comment Thursday.<\/p>\n

Marine officials could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The alleged shooting incident occurred sometime between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. June 21 in Sukuta, Nago, according to Japanese police. A mango farmer told authorities he had come home from shopping to discover two broken windows in his shed and a 2-inch-long bullet on the floor.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The law regarding attempted murder in Japan states that intent usually must be present to qualify for conviction, however, the bar can also be met if there was a \u201cplan or high risk of causing death to the other party.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good luck with that Mr Miyagi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
