Australian 'failed' by US military justice (stabbed by marines)

[rooboy]

Attorney-General Philip Ruddock has asked for a full report into the outcome of a US military trial of two Marines accused of a brutal attack last year on a young Australian in a Townsville nightclub.

The American military court which heard the case dropped charges against one Marine and acquitted the other earlier this month.

The family of Heath Twomey, who had his throat cut, is questioning his fate at the hands of the United States military justice system.

The Townsville student never had the chance to give evidence against them in the court and he was not told by either the US or Australian Governments of the acquittal, only learning about the case through the media.
