Dean Hutson To Appear on 20/20 Tomorrow Night

Dean Hutson was interviewed for a segment on ABC's 20/20, which will air on Friday December 14 at 10:00pm.

 

The segment involves the gang rape case of a women, Jamie Leigh Jones, at a KBR camp in the Green Zone in Iraq.  It has been two years and charges have still not been filed.  

 

Legal experts say Jones' alleged assailants will likely never face a judge and jury, due to an enormous loophole that has effectively left contractors in Iraq beyond the reach of United States law.

 

"It's very troubling," said Dean John Hutson of the Franklin Pierce Law Center. "The way the law presently stands, I would say that they don't have, at least in the criminal system, the opportunity for justice."
