Gen. Matthew Trollinger, officially decided not to offer the men clemency, meaning that Draher and Negron will not emerge legally unscathed from the yearslong prosecution effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe convening authority carefully considered the decision by the member\u2019s panel and the matters submitted by the accused and declined to set aside the conviction,\u201d the command said in a statement to Marine Corps Times in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negron lawyer Joseph Low IV told Marine Corps Times in a June interview that the two Raiders will be marked as felons for engaging in an action that would be legal in the civilian system. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/pardon\/legacy\/2006\/11\/13\/collateral_consequences.pdf\">As a result<\/a>, they likely will have a tougher time finding employment, they likely won\u2019t be able to own guns, and they may face restrictions on voting or jury service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How it all began<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early morning of New Year\u2019s Day 2019, Draher and Negron were drinking, contrary to orders, at a bar off-base in Irbil, Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So were multiple other Marines from their unit, as some of them even admitted on the witness stand at their fellow Marines\u2019 trial. But these other Marines didn\u2019t face general court-martial, according to Low, a Marine veteran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retired Army Master Sgt. Rick Rodriguez, a military contractor, also was drinking at the bar that night, and security footage showed him becoming aggressive with Negron and Draher\u2019s friend, Navy Chief Petty Officer Eric Gilmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After getting escorted from the bar, Rodriguez and the Marines encountered each other again outside. Footage of the ensuing altercation was grainy, but it appeared that Rodriguez became aggressive with Draher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Draher pushed him, and then Negron stepped in, striking Rodriguez and knocking him to the ground. Lawyers for Negron maintained that he acted to protect Draher.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/news\/2023\/02\/16\/verdict-not-guilty-an-inside-look-at-the-homicide-trial-of-2-marines\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mar-2.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Verdict, not guilty: An inside look at the homicide trial of 2 Marines<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The incident began on New Year\u2019s 2019.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marine Raiders left Rodriguez overnight with Gilmet, an experienced corpsman, rather than taking him to a hospital immediately. The Army veteran was pronounced dead on Jan. 4, 2019, at a military hospital in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rodriguez was survived by his wife, four children, granddaughter, parents and three siblings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lafayettefh.com\/obituary\/MSGRichard-RodriguezRet\">his obituary<\/a> stated. A Rodriguez family member did not respond to a Marine Corps Times request for comment on the latest development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negron, Draher and Gilmet \u2014 often known colloquially as the \u201cMARSOC 3\u2033 \u2014 were charged in December 2019, in a case that has since drawn national media interest and condemnations from members of Congress, who have raised concerns about the fairness of the prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors had argued in part that Rodriguez could have been saved if the special operators had taken him to a \u00adhospital earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in February, following a trial at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, a jury made up of other special operations Marines found Draher and Negron not guilty of all charges except for violation of a lawful general order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Consequences of the conviction<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low noted to Marine Corps Times that the jury hadn\u2019t even given the two Marines a letter of reprimand. Before the jury members reached their verdict, he hadn\u2019t been authorized to tell them about the consequences of a felony conviction, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the jury, in my opinion, found out that this is what the consequences are, I think they would have gone with jury nullification and not even convicted them over that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fija.org\/library-and-resources\/library\/jury-nullification-faq\/what-is-jury-nullification.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jury nullification<\/a> occurs when jurors decide to find a defendant not guilty of violating a law despite overwhelming proof to the contrary, usually because the jurors feel the law, or the application of the law, is unjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marine Lt. Col. Eric Catto, the judge who presided over their trial, recommended MARSOC offer Negron and Draher clemency, according to Low and documents obtained by Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Draher\u2019s lawyer, Phillip Stackhouse, did not respond to a Marine Corps Times request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the interview with Marine Corps Times, Low expressed frustration that Trollinger hadn\u2019t met with him to hear his client\u2019s concerns or provide an explanation for the decision not to offer clemency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d put that general\u2019s resume up against my guy, and let\u2019s see if the general has one 100th the amount of combat experience that this man has,\u201d Low said. \u201cAnd yet this general\u2019s passing judgment on my guy, wants to ruin his life, for a drink of alcohol? Who is this person? I\u2019d like to meet him personally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its brief statement to Marine Corps Times, Marine Corps Special Operations Command declined to say whether it would pursue administrative actions against Draher and Negron or provide additional comment. But the Raiders\u2019 defense team has gotten word that the Marine Corps will process them for administrative retirement, which could involve a reduction in grade and a less-than-honorable discharge, Low told Marine Corps Times on June 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two Raiders could lose \u201cover six figures\u201d in retirement income, <a href=\"https:\/\/taskandpurpose.com\/opinion\/marsoc-3-raider-badge\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nick Coffman<\/a>, an advocate for the MARSOC 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/taskandpurpose.com\/opinion\/marsoc-3-raider-badge\/\" target=\"_blank\">who works with United American Patriots,<\/a> wrote in a Task &amp; Purpose op-ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marine Corps is also working to take away Negron and Draher\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/opinion\/2016\/09\/19\/the-marines-new-raider-insignia-gives-special-operators-street-cred\/\">Raider badges<\/a>, signifiers of their membership in the elite Marine special operations community, Low said June 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHis plan, currently, is to remain loyal to the Marine Corps, despite whether they deserve it or not,\u201d Low said of Negron. \u201cThat\u2019s just the kind of person he is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilmet\u2019s case is being prosecuted separately. The chief petty officer, who received immunity to testify at the trial of the Marine Raiders, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/04\/19\/3rd-marsoc-3-defendants-case-goes-before-top-military-appeals-court\/\">is awaiting a ruling from the highest military court<\/a> about whether a lower-court judge was right to toss out his case because of alleged unlawful command influence by a top Marine prosecutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if Gilmet\u2019s case proceeds to trial, his immunity will mean prosecutors will have to prove they got their evidence independently of his trial testimony \u2014 which would not be an easy task, according to Gilmet lawyer and retired Marine Lt. Col. Colby Vokey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gunnery Sgts.
