SEATTLE (AP) - The Army court of appeals on Friday issued a partial stay in the second trial for a Fort Lewis soldier who refused to go to Iraq and spoke out against the Bush administration.

The decision by the Army Court of Criminal Appeals in Arlington, Va., means the July 23 court-martial for 1st Lt. Ehren Watada will be on hold until the court reviews arguments from both sides.

Watada is charged with missing movement and conduct unbecoming an officer. If convicted, he could be sentenced to six years in prison and be dishonorably discharged.
