It seems that justice has started to run its course for one of the murderers of USAF Tech. Sgt. Curtis Eccleston of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. As I mentioned in a previous post:
R.I.P. Staff Sergeant Ecclestone, I hope your killer(s) get what they deserve!
As reported by the Stars & Stripes:
“Staff Sgt. Nicholas Cron, of the 733rd Air Mobility Squadron, pleaded guilty to premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit murder and obstruction of justice as part of an agreement with military prosecutors. In return, he cannot be put to death for in the February slaying of Tech. Sgt. Curtis Eccleston in an off-base apartment on Okinawa.”
Cron was taken into custody on Feb. 13 by military authorities and has since been confined in the brig at Camp Hansen. So far, the victim’s wife, Barbara Keiko Eccleston, 32, was charged by Okinawa prosecutors in the slaying in February 2011 under Japanese law but has yet to be arraigned in the case and is without a trial date.Click here for the rest of this story.
