US army soldier sentenced to life in prison for murder of Iraqi prisoners
A US soldier convicted of the "execution style" murder of four bound and blindfolded Iraqis has been sentenced to life in prison.
A jury of eight US army officers and noncommissioned officers handed Master Sgt. John Hatley the sentence on Thursday.
The 40-year-old soldier will also have his rank reduced to private, forfeit all pay and receive a dishonourable discharge.
Hatley was found guilty on Wednesday of premeditated murder and conspiracy in the execution-style killings of the unidentified detainees.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
