No, not that one. This one was convicted of second-degree murder Monday in federal court in Pensacola, Florida. Wilkerson was charged under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act[.] Howard Koplowitz, Military.com 8 May 2024 (revised).
The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act ("MEJA") was enacted on November 22, 2000 and is codified at 18 U.S.C. §§ 3261-67. MEJA permits the exercise of criminal jurisdiction over crimes committed outside the United States if at the time of the offense the offender was (1) employed by the Armed Forces outside the United States; (2) accompanying the Armed Forces outside the United States; or (3) a member of the Armed Forces. No prosecution may be commenced against a member of the Armed Forces, however, unless at the time of prosecution the member is no longer subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice ("UCMJ") or the member is charged with committing the offense with one or more other defendants not subject to the UCMJ. Per the DoJ Justice Manual. Comments are closed.
