Where we stand today Three Marines have been charged for murder in an incident in Fallujah: sergeants Ryan Weemer, Jermaine Nelson, and Jose Nazario (who is now a civilian). As reported by Tony Perry in the Los Angeles Times, Josh White in the Washington Post, and others, this website (DefendOurMarines.com) was the first to break the story behind the investigation into an incident arising from combat in Fallujah in 2004. We can continue to report the facts first and most accurately of any news outlet. Defense funds None of these Marines have the means to pay for a legal defense. Please help.
