Chisoxmatt Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?t...storyID=7336220 FORT HOOD, Texas (Reuters) - A military jury sentenced Spc. Charles Graner to 10 years in prison on Saturday for his leading role in the 2003 Abu Ghraib torture of Iraqi prisoners, five years less than the maximum sentence possible. The sentencing at a central Texas military base came a day after a jury found Graner guilty on 10 counts related to the abuses, many of which were documented in photographs that included naked prisoners stacked into a pyramid and being forced to masturbate. Graner showed no reaction when the sentence was read and appeared calm before he was taken off to prison. Asked if he regretted abusing prisoners, Graner paused, then said: "Maybe you missed that there's a war on. Bad things happen in war. "Apparently I followed an illegal order."

Rex Kickass Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 He still didn't get the max tho, he was facing 17 years. Personally, I think he oughta suffer the same torture he subjected his prisoners to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
