Court-martial hearing set for soldier accused of misconduct in Afghanistan
Wednesday's hearing will be held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.
UPDATE: Attorneys for Staff Sgt. Robert Stevens Wednesday entered guilty pleas
for him on four of five counts at his court martial on charges of serious
misconduct in Afghanistan.
The first court-martial of one of the soldiers connected to a group of soldiers accused of killing Afghan citizens for sport, is scheduled to start Wednesday.
Staff Sgt. Robert G. Stevens is one of seven soldiers "facing charges of serious misconduct while deployed in Afghanistan," the Army said in a statement.
Stevens' charges include conspiracy to commit assault and battery, dereliction of duty, aggravated assault and wrongfully and wantonly engaging in conduct likely to cause death or bodily harm to other soldiers, the Army said.
HAHAHA... You are talking a bunch of jibberish... Tell you what – take a breath, relax... Have a beer and a nice hebrew national hotdog. Roll some ammo in bacon grease – that's what I did in Afghanistan to help me relax.
must have suffered from combat stress or just plain stupid to engage in killing with out probable cause. regardless of rank and status unless there was reasonable doubt that his actions were justifiable the law apparently sees injustice and therefore either they gather enough data to can him or gather enough data to support him. ssg, i hope you were in the right for your sake, if not its actions like yours that projects bad leadership for the lower enlisted.
