A military judge has dismissed a murder charge against a Marine accused of killing an unarmed detainee in Iraq.The charge against Sgt. Jermaine Nelson was dismissed Tuesday at Camp Pendleton after he agreed to plead guilty to dereliction of duty.
His attorney Joseph Low says the plea agreement calls for no prison time and an honorable discharge.
The 28-year-old Nelson could have faced up to life in prison if convicted of murder.
Nelson was among three Marines accused of killing detainees in 2004 during house-to-house fighting to recapture Fallujah.
One of Nelson's squadmates was acquitted by a military jury of the same charges in April. Nelson's squad leader was acquitted last year in federal court on counts that included voluntary manslaughter.
