SAN DIEGO - Eight Marines are charged in the deadliest criminal case to arise from the Iraq war, but it was the actions of just one that prosecutors say led most directly to the deaths of 24 unarmed civilians and a subsequent attempted cover-up.
According to charging documents, Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich, killed 12 people and was responsible for the deaths of six others in the Iraqi city of Haditha, telling three other Marines under his command to "shoot first and ask questions later, or words to that effect."
