FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) -- A military panel will determine a new sentence for an Army soldier whose convictions in the deaths of three Iraqi detainees were thrown out by an appeals court.
Staff Sgt. Ray Girouard of Sweetwater, Tenn., was convicted in 2007 of three counts of negligent homicide for his role in the shooting deaths of three Iraqi men captured in a raid near Samarra, Iraq, in 2006. But last year a military appeals court threw out the negligent homicide convictions.
A jury made up of soldiers from Fort Campbell, on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line, is reviewing records from Girouard's previous court-martial and will meet on Tuesday to determine his sentence on his remaining convictions of obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct justice and violation of a general order.
