“It’s a complete disregard for the judgment of those leaders who were put there to hear all the evidence and decided whether somebody was a murderer or not,” said a lawyer who specializes in U.S. military cases.
President Donald Trump granted a full pardon Monday to a former U.S. Army lieutenant who previously served five years in prison for fatally shooting an Iraqi man detained by American forces.
Behenna and another soldier, Staff Sergeant Hal Warner, stripped Mansur of his clothes with their knives and questioned him about the IED attack, the platoon’s interpreter said at a pre-trial hearing in 2008 and reported by Agence France-Presse. Eric Mayer, whose law firm specializes in U.S. military case law told Newsweek that Trump’s pardon of Behenna shouldn't be seen as a sure sign about the outcome of other war crime-related cases still pending in the military’s justice system.
