CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – A jury has found a former Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island drill instructor guilty of abusing three Muslim former trainees, multiple violations of military law and striking a recruit in the face moments before his fatal fall.
An eight-member panel of half officers, half enlisted men, began deliberating the U.S. government's case against Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Felix around 8 a.m. Thursday and delivered the verdict more than 12 hours later.
Felix was found guilty of maltreatment of Muslim former recruits Ameer Bourmeche, Rekan Hawez and Raheel Siddiqui. The jury found that Felix ordered Hawez and Bourmeche into industrial clothes dryers in separate instances in July 2015. The jury found Felix turned on the dryer while Bourmeche was in it and, when the machine was turned off, forced him to recant his faith.
