[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 843487, member: 17969"] Jones, the Leavenworth 10 were all convicted of premeditiated murder. NONE of these men are innocent or deserve a "break". They are the worst of the worst (SO FAR) as other cases are pending. Leavenworth holds many more military prisoners either awaiting trial or convicted of crimes. Creating an atmosphere where "we" pretend our soldiers are all innocent victims of war and thereby forgiving their crimes is unexcusable. Here is a list of convictions for our military heroes: • Staff Sgt. Cardenas J. Alban convicted of killing severely wounded 16-year-old Iraqi during fighting in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood. Sentenced to one year's confinement, demoted to private and given bad-conduct discharge. • Staff Sgt. Johnny Horne Jr. pleaded guilty to unpremeditated murder in same case as Alban. Sentenced to three years in prison, had rank reduced to private and given dishonorable discharge. Horne's prison sentence later reduced to one year. • Cpl. Dustin Berg convicted and sentenced to 18 months in military prison for shooting death of Iraqi police officer. • Spc. Rami Dajani convicted of making a false statement following fatal shooting of Iraqi translator. Sentenced to 18 months' confinement and given a reduction in rank and bad conduct discharge. • Spc. Charley L. Hooser convicted of involuntary manslaughter in same case involving Dajani. Hooser sentenced to three years in prison and given a reduction in rank and bad conduct discharge. • Capt. Rogelio "Roger" Maynulet convicted of assault with intent to commit voluntary manslaughter in shooting death of wounded Iraqi. Dismissed from armed forces. • Pvt. Federico Daniel Merida pleaded guilty to killing 17-year-old Iraqi soldier after the two had consensual sex. Sentenced to 25 years in prison, given a reduction in rank and dishonorably discharged. • Marine Maj. Clarke Paulus convicted of dereliction of duty and maltreatment in case stemming from death of Iraqi prisoner who was dragged out of holding cell by the neck, stripped naked and left outside for seven hours in June 2003. Paulus, who commanded the Marine detention facility Camp Whitehorse in southern Iraq, was dismissed from the service. • Sgt. 1st Class Tracy Perkins acquitted of involuntary manslaughter in alleged drowning of Iraqi man but convicted of assault for forcing the man and his cousin into Tigris River. Sentenced to six months in prison. • 1st Lt. Jack Saville pleaded guilty to assault and other crimes in same incident as Perkins. Sentenced to 45 days in military prison. • Pfc. Edward Richmond convicted of voluntary manslaughter for shooting Iraqi in back of head. Received three years in prison. • Sgt. Michael P. Williams convicted in court-martial of one count of premeditated murder and one count of unpremeditated murder in deaths of unarmed civilians during operations near Sadr City. Sentenced to life in prison and given a reduction in rank. Sentence later reduced to 25 years. • Spc. Brent May convicted in court-martial of one count of unpremeditated murder in same incident as Michael Williams. Sentenced to five years in prison. • Chief Warrant Officer Lewis Welshofer convicted of negligent homicide and negligent dereliction of duty in death of Iraqi Maj. Gen. Abed Hamed Mowhoush after an interrogation at a detention camp. Restricted to his home, office and church for two months. Charges against three others dropped. Not all cases get long sentences in the military. Some were given light sentences or fines as most brought national and global attention to our actions. Only the most serious cases, like the Leavenworth 10 were given harsh sentences due to the magnitudes of the crimes. Not all our military men fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan were heroes, we just have to accept that and allow military justice to prevail. Peace. [/QUOTE]
