Rape, Murder
Case of Ex-Soldier Delayed a Week By Associated Press December 5, 2007 Paducah, Ky. - A teleconference
to set a trial date for a former Kentucky soldier charged with raping a
14-year-old Iraqi girl and killing her and her family has been postponed. The trial of 22-year-old
Steven Green of Midland, Texas, was set to be scheduled during the call
Wednesday, but attorneys canceled because of a scheduling conflict. The next hearing will be
held on Dec. 11 in Louisville. Green is charged with rape
and murder in the deaths of Abeer Qassim al-Janabi and three others in her
family. He faces a possible death sentence if convicted. The former private in the
Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division has pleaded not guilty. Four
others who served with Green have been convicted in the March 2006 attack. © 2007 The Associated Press External link: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/5355113.html |
