Situation Report
MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Residents of Manila and top Marine officials have described themselves as both horrified and inspired by last week's landmark murder of a straight Filipina prositute by a transgender U.S. Marine, sources confirmed today.
Cpl. Jenny Waller was arraigned yesterday in a Manila courtroom for murdering the female prostitute, who Waller allegedly assumed was male based on her female appearance and proximity to a Manila nightclub.
Waller, an 0351 Infantry Assault Marine assigned to the 4th Marine Regiment on Okinawa, was on a routine weekend mission to drink all the alcohol in Manila when the encounter occurred.
