Security contractors accused of killing civilians to be retried

Jury selection begins Tuesday in the retrial of two U.S. security contractors accused of killing two Afghanistan civilians.

In September, a federal judge declared a mistrial in the case against Christopher Drotleff and Justin Cannon after the jury in the case said they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

Drotleff and Cannon worked as security contractors for a subsidiary of Xe, the military contracting firm formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide.

    What a miscarriage of justice this is!!! That's what happens whenever one has a jury biased in their favor. That's exactly what happened to those Ohio National Guardsmen who shot those students at Kent State on May 4.1970,killing 4 of them.
