Trial has been postponed for a Fort Campbell solider accused of murdering his pregnant wife.
Sgt. First Class Joseph Santiago, a soldier with the Fifth Special Forces group, is charged with murder and injury of an unborn child in the death of Meghan Santiago, his pregnant wife. The incident occurred of Fort Campbell on September 27, 2021 and Joseph Santiago was arrested on the following day.
The court martial had been set to begin Thursday of last week, but post officials say a judge ruled last week against the government on the admissibility of specific evidence in the trial and the government has provided its notice of intent to appeal.
The case is now forwarded to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals, with no new trial date set due to uncertainty on how long that process will take.
