pd190 0 #1 April 10, 2003 As many of you may recall, in September we had a few boys decide to "modify" some parachute systems here at Camp Swampy. This morning I heard on the radio news that charges in the pending investigation on one of the two suspects have been dropped. I've been following this investigation, as I'm sure many of you have, and just wanted to give an update. I'm sure that Navy/Marine Corps Times will have a further update of the situation next week.

TheMonkey 0 #3 April 10, 2003 http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/10/national/main548619.shtml quick article... no mention of him cutting a deal, also stating that there is a possibility of charges again should evidence arise later... --------------------- Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

darkwing 5 #4 April 10, 2003 Unfortunately a cloud will hang over him. Sometime dropped charges means not enough evidence, and sometimes it means he really didn't do it. The article is fairly ambiguous. I bet the atmosphere around the unit will be fairly harsh for him, and we don't know if he deserves it or not. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loughery 0 #5 April 10, 2003 If someone sabbotages a parachute i think they should be charged with Attempted manslaughter. TOTTOT www.SkydiveMoncton.com To my wife: 'If you ask me to stop skydiving, you are asking me to move out!' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #8 April 10, 2003 Forget manslaughter. Attempted MURDER should be the charge. If you screw with a parachute, you should at least be forced to jump it, exactly the way it is and see what happens. If you are ok, then let it be manslaughter, if you die. Well we will all be happy!Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
