Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher was found guilty on one of seven charges: posing for a photo with a human casualty.
Published 7:11 PM EDT Jul 2, 2019
Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher was accused of stabbing a teenage prisoner in the neck and body. He went on to pose with the prisoner's body and included it as a prop in his re-enlistment ceremony, and bragged that he"got this one with my knife." In addition, he was also accused of shooting two civilians.
He was found not guilty of premeditated murder, willfully discharging a firearm to endanger human life, retaliation against members of his platoon for reporting his alleged actions, obstruction of justice, and the attempted murders of two noncombatants. A SEAL medic who was a key witness initially told prosecutors ahead of the trial that Gallagher had walked up and stabbed the teenage prisoner. The medic said he then tried to revive the prisoner.
