Murder Trial Set For Fort Campbell Sergeant

  • {Fort Campbell, Kentucky}...A hearing officer has recommended that Sergeant Brent Burke, a Fort Campbell soldier charged in the 2007 shooting deaths of his ex-wife, Tracy Burke and her former mother-in-law, Karen Comer, face a general court-martial. A statement from the Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee line says a trial date for Sergeant Burke to face charges of murder has been set for February 6th. The Army charged Burke in the shootings after civilian authorities in Hardin County dismissed charges against him due to four mistrials. Burke has maintained his innocence.
