Sailor Pleads Guilty To Killing Marine

[ECH1969]

Before Jackson entered his guilty pleas, the military judge, Captain Daniel O'toole, dropped the case down so it is no longer a capital case. That means Petty Officer Jackson does not face the death penalty.

This all began in December of 2005. Jackson was involved in a telephone relationship with a woman he knew as Samantha from Currituck County. She told him she was raped by a marine and three other people in the beginning of December.

The woman who claimed she'd been raped has since told police she made up the story.
