Afghan Massacre Suspect Heads to U.S

The shooting suspect, who has not been publicly identified, is expected to arrive at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas later today, attorney John Henry Browne told CNN, echoing the timeline defense officials provided to ABC News. The soldier had been held in Kuwait after he was spirited out of Afghanistan days after the alleged murders.
Browne, a high profile Seattle-based attorney who has represented the northwest's infamous Barefoot Bandit Colton Harris-Moore as well as convicted serial killer Ted Bundy, disputed a New York Times report that his client had "snapped" before the shooting, saying that while his client was certainly stressed from living in a war zone, he did not snap.
Browne also called reports that the alleged shooter was suffering marital problems before his last deployment "totally bogus" and said there was "no issue" with the marriage.
