FORT STEWART, Ga. - A Fort Stewart soldier charged with slaying a superior and a fellow U.S. soldier in Iraq is due back in a military court.
A military judge is scheduled Tuesday to hear defense motions in the case of Army Sgt. Joseph Bozicevich (BOZ-eh-vich). The judge may also rule on requests from both prosecutors and defense lawyers to delay his court-martial on murder charges.
Bozicevich, of Minneapolis, could face the death penalty if convicted of murder in the slayings of Staff Sgt. Darris Dawson and Sgt. Wesley Durbin at a patrol base in Iraq in September 2008.
Bozicevich is scheduled to stand trial by a court-martial in June. But attorneys on both sides have asked to postpone it until at least October.
