Soldier linked to shocking video of US Marines URINATING on Taliban insurgents will NOT be charged Charges against Capt. James Clement were dropped with NO EXPLANATION Two witnesses were set to testify on Wednesday about possible cover-up Marine commandant said he wanted to 'crush' Marines linked to video in private meeting Charges were dropped against Capt. James V. Clement, pictured, on Friday in Quantico, Virginia. Clement was linked to a video of US Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban insurgents A soldier who has been linked to the infamous video of US soldiers urinating on dead Taliban insurgents will not be charged. The Marine Corps suddenly dropped criminal charges against Capt. James V. Clement on Friday at Quantico, Virginia. The video, filmed on July 27, 2011, showed four enlisted scout snipers urinating on Taliban corpses in Musa Qala, Afghanistan. The Marine Corps Times reports that seven enlisted Marines also faced charges.Their cases have all been resolved. Lt. Gen. Kenneth J. Glueck, who heads Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico and oversaw the prosecution, filed a brief court paper withdrawing the charges with no explanation. Clement had been charged with dereliction of duty for not properly supervising the Marines who urinated on the Taliban corpses. Glueck has instead ordered Clement to face an administrative board of inquiry. The board will determine if he will be retained or separated from the Marine Corps over less than honorable conditions. Clement's defense attorneys had earlier won a judge's order to get two staff attorneys to testify that senior commanders had allegedly interfered to get a guilty verdict, The Washington Times reports. Capt. Clement was linked to enlisted US Marines, seen here, who were videotaped urinating on dead Taliban insurgents in July 2011 in Afghanistan Both Maj. James Weirick, a stuff judge advocate at Marine Corps Combat Development Command, and his former supervisor, Col. Jesse Gruter, were supposed to testify. Weirick filed a complaint with the Pentagon's inspector general in March. He claimed that Gen. Jim Amos intentionally manipulated the legal process related to the scandal and then attempted to cover up any involvement, The Marine Corps Times reports. John Dowd, an attorney for Capt. Clement, said 'The withdrawal of the charges was another actor of cowardice to cover up the worst case of unlawful command influence in the history of the Marine Corps.' Dowd also said he had wished to see emails exchanged between the commandant, his counsel and his legal division. 'That email traffic would have revealed that [the commandant] and his lawyers had engaged in a secret, corrupt effort to rig and control the investigations and dispositions of the so-called desecration cases until Capt. Clement refused to submit to a corrupt process [of being] charged with crimes he did not commit,' he said. Capt. Clement's defense team also obtained a sworn statement from Lt. Gen. Thomas D. Waldhauser, The Washington Times adds. Waldhauser described a secret meeting with Gen. Amos, in which the commandant said he wanted Marine defendants 'crushed' via courts-martial. Maj.
