A California-based Marine was sentenced to four years in jail for the January death of another Marine in Twentynine Palms.
Sgt. Lincoln Crall of Boulder, Colo., was convicted of one count of manslaughter at his general court-martial at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, a spokesman said Thursday. Crall was accused in the shooting death of Lance Cpl. Cameron Babcock, 19, of Plymouth, Ind., on Jan. 20, in a barracks at the desert training base.
Crall was sentenced to four years confinement, a reduction to private, and a bad conduct discharge, according to 1st Lt. Curtis Williamson, a 1st Marine Division spokesman at Camp Pendleton. Crall is assigned to 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, at Twentynine Palms.
