Fort Bliss NCO faces trial over child’s death, assault of second

"Correction: A previous version of this article stated that Sgt. Justin Cope was charged with murdering two children. That was incorrect. He was charged with two specifications of murder against only one child, as well as two specifications of aggravated assault against a different child.

A junior noncommissioned officer assigned to a Fort Bliss, Texas, cavalry unit faces a general court-martial next week on charges that he committed aggravated assault against a child in 2017 and murdered another child with his bare hands in February 2019."
