The military prosecutor of a decorated Navy SEAL accused of murdering a wounded teenage ISIS prisoner in Iraq was booted from the case by a military judge Monday over unsanctioned tracking of the defense team's emails. The judge has not ruled on whether to dismiss charges of murder and attempted murder against Gallagher. "Chief Petty Officer Gallagher is entitled to a fair trial and the Navy is committed to upholding that principle," O'Rourke said. The defense team has said that even if a new prosecutor is named, Gallagher can't get a fair trial. It is extremely unusual for a military judge to remove the prosecution or dismiss a case only days before the start of a trial.
