Soldier appeals in Iraqi detainees murder case
A Tennessee soldier found guilty of negligent homicide for ordering his subordinates to kill Iraqi detainees has filed an appeal against his conviction and sentence of 10 years in prison.Staff Sgt. Ray Girouard, of Sweetwater, was found guilty by a military jury last year at Fort Campbell, Ky., in the deaths of three detainees during a 2006 raid near Samarra, Iraq.The appeal, filed Monday with the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals, argues that it is against military policy to hold a leader responsible for the intentional killings by his subordinates during combat missions.Girouard was the most senior of four 101st Airborne Division soldiers found guilty in the case. Spc. William Hunsaker and Pfc. Corey Clagett both pleaded guilty and testified Girouard ordered them to release the detainees and shoot them as they fled.Girouard was the only soldier who refused to take a plea deal in the case and took the stand to deny ordering the killings. After he discovered the slayings, Girouard testified that he decided to help them fake an attack, cutting Hunsaker and punching Clagett in the face, and lying to superiors by saying his soldiers shot the detainees in self-defense.
