Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher found not guilty on murder and attempted murder charges
Some members of SEAL Team 7 brought forth allegations against Gallagher and were initially interviewed by NCIS last year. But when two specific members of the team were again interviewed by NCIS in January, they were essentially “ordered” to give testimony, and key statements that might benefit Gallagher were completely left out of the subsequent reports; notably, the reports allegedly do not include video of the interview, but rather a summary, Task and Purpose reported.
A jury found decorated Navy SEAL Edward "Eddie" Gallagher not guilty Tuesday on almost all charges he was facing, including murder and attempted murder, in the killing of an Islamic State member in Iraq.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
Case closed.
And BTW, the individual who confessed has immunity.
Can you elaborate?
Sure, Special Operator First Class Corey Scott was granted immunity in exchange for his truthful testimony. As long as he hasn't committed perjury he is immune from prosecution.
(Scott testified he killed the young ISIS captive by blocking his breathing tube with his thumb.)
Predictable outcome.
