Thirty-four wild horses were shot to death in Nevada last month.

The suspects, two of them U.S. Marines, are accused of killing 34 wild horses with high-powered rifles. The shootings, just east of Reno, Nevada, occurred December 27.

The Marines -- Lance Cpl. Scott Brendle and Lance Cpl. Darien Brock -- and a high school friend, Anthony Merlino, face up to 15 years in prison if convicted in civilian court of theft, larceny and killing another person's animal.
