" A former U.S. soldier convicted five years ago of murdering an Iraqi family died Saturday, two days after an apparent suicide attempt in his Arizona prison cell, authorities said.Steven Green was found unresponsive last Thursday, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons."
In 2009 Green was found guilty of raping and killing a 14 year old iraqi girl along with her family. He issued a public apology that was not accepted, and was sentenced to multiple "life in prisons" without parole. Green was tried in Paducah, Kentucky, because he was already discharged from the army.

Some power hungry soldiers just get so reckless overseas and take out their negative energy on innocent civilians. Makes me sadface :(
I'm glad that he was prosecuted with such a strong sentence. It shows that there is some justice in our justice system and we will not make exceptions for soldiers in warring countries.
ReplyDeleteThis is horrible, however the guilt he mustve been feeling was probably unbearable!
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad. I can't imagine the guilt he felt and I just wish he got to help he needed.
