JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - The general court-martial convening authority for I Corps and JBLM referred court-martial charges on Friday against Sgt. 1st Class Michael Barbera.
Charges against Barbera include:
- Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), Article 134 - Obstruction of justice.
- UCMJ, Article 134 - Communicating a threat.
The two charges of murder were dismissed by the general court-martial convening authority. This decision was made after reviewing the Article 32 report of investigation.
The charges result from an investigation into Barbera's alleged shooting of two civilians near the village of As Sadah, Diyala Province on March 6, 2007.
At the time of the incident, Barbera was assigned to 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.
Barbera is currently assigned to 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. He is attached to I Corps for UCMJ purposes.
He is not in pre-trial confinement.
