The Navy quietly ended its pursuit of a homicide charge against Cmdr. Alfredo Sanchez, who oversaw the warship John S. McCain when it collided with a tanker in August, killing 10 sailors.
Attorneys for Cmdr. Bryce Benson said last week that public comments by Navy leadership have assigned guilt and cast "unwarranted aspersions" against the former skipper.
