Honolulu: A US soldier accused of killing an unarmed Iraqi last summer will not face the death penalty if convicted of premeditated murder, an Army lawyer said.
Major General Benjamin Mixon, the 25th Infantry Division commander, decided Tuesday to court-martial Sergeant 1st Class Trey Corrales, who is based in Hawaii. Corrales, of San Antonio, is accused of shooting an Iraqi after his platoon captured the man during a raid on a house suspected of harbouring men who were planting roadside bombs.
