this case a bit complex... I was reading the TIME magazine article. Apparently, there are one or 2 soldiers under him that had a grudge and the prosecutors are relying mainly on their testimony against him. One of them is the platoon sgt.Originally posted by LazerLordz:And get charged for murder like 1st Lt Ilyria Pantano, USMC.![]()

He was acquitted of all charges AFAIK.And yes, he did leave himself open to incrimintating testimony from one of the sergeants under him.Originally posted by specfore:this case a bit complex...

Also, from the initial forensics, the victims were shot in the back, so they appeared to be running away and not threatening him, as he had said.
He is a strange gung-ho type guy, which does not help his case... was an investment banker in NYC, and then volunteered. I think the prosecution will build a case that this was an "over-zealous" chap and was a trigger happy chap. Likely to be 2nd degree manslaughter, if he is not careful in his defense.
