Attorney: Fort
Campbell Soldier Did not Kill Detainee By Kristin M. Hall Associated Press August 25, 2008 Nashville, Tenn. - The
lawyer for a Fort Campbell soldier charged with premeditated murder says the
soldier did not kill an Iraqi detainee and will fight the charges. James Phillips, a
Clarksville attorney, also said a hearing for Staff Sgt. Hal M. Warner has
been reset again to give the civilian attorneys time to travel to Iraq. Warner and 1st Lt. Michael
C. Behenna, both of Oklahoma, are accused of shooting Ali Mansour Mohammed
"at or near" their forward operating base north of Baghdad and then
lying about it. Phillips told The Associated
Press that there were Iraqi witnesses to the death of the detainee and their
eyewitness accounts will be a part of the Article 32 hearing, now set for
Sept. 11. A hearing for Behenna has
not yet been set. External link: http://www.kentucky.com/471/story/501539.html |
