On December 21, 2006 military prosecutors charged four Marines with unpremeditated murder in connection with the deaths of 24 Iraqis in the city of Haditha in November of 2005. In addition, four Marine officers were charged with dereliction of duty for not accurately reporting the events. Even with the national attention this case is receiving, it is difficult to follow all of the events and seperate trials.
This Web site was created to keep family, friends, and supporters of LCpl Justin Sharratt up-to-date with the situation involving 3-1 Kilo Company’s 2005 deployment to Haditha, Iraq. While exploring the following pages, you will find articles leading up to the trial, a blog written by family members of Justin, pictures of our Marine, donation information, as well as other links to assist readers in following the journey of our family.
The Sharratt family would like to thank all of the supporters of our hero. As you know, Justin was exonerated on August 9, 2007. We are now praying for the other Marines that are still being charged in the Haditha situation.
