VILSECK, Germany — The former treasurer of the Kaiserslautern Branch of the Gangster Disciples is a key witness in the government’s case against one of several military members allegedly responsible for the fatal beating of a soldier during a gang initiation in 2005.

Air Force Tech. Sgt. T. Saraglou, the former treasurer, testified at an Article 32 hearing Monday for Army Spc. Bobby Morrissette at Vilseck. Neither Saraglou nor prosecutors would provide Saraglou’s first name.

Morrissette, 25, who is assigned to the 1st Cargo Transfer Company in Grafenwöhr, is charged with aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, participation in gang initiation rituals, indecent acts, impeding an investigation, impeding trial by court-martial and willfully disobeying an officer.

The charges stem from the death of Army Sgt. Juwan Johnson, who died after a "jump in" beating by members of the Gangster Disciples.

This is the second Article 32 for Morrissette.

1. Is it just me or does the fact that the Gangster Disciples have a "Treasurer" seem surreal?
