16 year old Iraqi dead, US soldier walks free
Reuters: A U.S. army tank company commander convicted of shooting dead a wounded Iraqi walked free from court on Friday, although he was dismissed from the army for what he called a "mercy killing."
Army Captain Rogelio Maynulet had faced up to 10 years in jail after a court martial at a U.S. army base in Wiesbaden, Germany, found him guilty of assault with intent to commit voluntary manslaughter. Link
[db] The Reuters report doesn't really cover this very well. The dump truck that was fired upon by the US trooprs was driven by teenagers looking to earn some money. The victim of the so-called mercy killing was 16 years old, and he had a name which was Kassim Hassan - hell he probably had parents too bubba. I posted some items on this a few months ago here.
