Spielman From Page IA "You have to agree to those facts, and they are very broadly written," he said. The government was seeking the death penalty against all the defendants in the case, but when Barker's plea agreement, was accepted he was given 9G years in prison instead, wittfthe possibility of parole. court-martial continued." Wednesday and at presstime the judge had not handed down a sentence. Both Howard and Spielman are awaiting their military trials and the government is seeking the death penalty in both cases. Spielman's is set for April 2 but Carlson said he is not sure it will actually take place then.

The fifth soldier in the case, Steven D. Green, was discharged from the Army for a personality disorder before the facts in the case came to light and he is charged with rape and murder in federal court in Kentucky. The soldiers were part of a nine-man patrol assigned to a remote outpost as checkpoint guards in the spring of 2006 when the crimes took place. One soldier who stayed behind at the outpost but later learned of the crimes was charged with obstruction of justice. Three other members of the same patrol were killed at their checkpoint in June by insurgents who later claimed the deaths were in retaliation for the rape and murders.

Another soldier, Pfc. Justin Watt, went to authorities after some of those allegedly involved in the crime talked to him about it. Carlson said he had read Watt's testimony and that the soldier did not claim to have talked to Spielman. "When Watt said (in his testimony) that he talked to others and they told him about it, there was no mention of Spielman; (being involved)," Carlson said: He said the attorneys who wiJE defend Spielman are preparing to take the case to trial and are convinced Spielman will be cleared of the rape and murder charges. "Jesse is not going to plead guilty to something he didxi't do," he said.

Another approached the car on foot to place him under arrest, but instead of surrendering to police, Boyd rammed the parked vehicles in front of and behind him, then rammed two occupied police vehicles.

After hitting the police vehicles, he crashed into a car on the opposite side of the street, then backed up and hit one of the police vehicles a second time, then hit another police cruiser occupied by two Chambersburg detectives.

Boyd had about 15 grams of crack cocaine on him at the time of his arrest. In handing down the sentence, Franklin County Judge Douglas W.
