Acquittal in 2nd Bagram homicide

Another member, Sgt. Christopher Greatorex, of the 377th Military Police company based in Cincinnati was acquitted today on abuse charges. Even though the prosecution had sworn testimony from another soldier in the room during the beatings which led to prisoner Habibullah's death, the military panel acquitted the Reservist.

Sgt. Greatorex's defense claimed that the witness had mixed him up with another soldier and accused her of trying to "cover" for other soldiers.

The prosecution is quoted by the Houston Chronicle as saying, ""I really don't have any idea what those panel members were thinking."
