A jury could begin deliberations as soon as Thursday on whether a Virginia-based military contractor bears responsibility for abuse of detainees 20 years ago at Iraq’s infamous Abu Ghraib prison.
FILE - This courtroom sketch depicts a former detainee at Abu Ghraib prison, Salah Al-Ejaili, foreground with glasses, at the trial of CACI, a Virginia-based military contractor who is accused of contributing to the abuse and torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib, in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., April 16, 2024. ALEXANDRIA, Va.
Military police who were seen in the photos smiling and laughing as they directed the abuse were convicted in military courts-martial.
CACI maintains, as it has from the outset, that it did nothing wrong. It does not deny that some detainees were horribly mistreated, though it has sought to cast doubt on whether the three plaintiffs in this case have been truthful about the specific abuse they have claimed.
