One Kill Team Lawyer Speaks Out

Posted by priscilya







One of the most serious accusations of war crimes to emerge from the war in Afghanistan, five soldiers have been accused of conspiracy and premeditated murder for being a part of a 'kill team' that blew up and shot Afghan civilians at random, and then collected their fingers as trophies. If these charges hold true, and the five men are convicted, they face the death penalty, or life in prison. Major Eric Montalvo, Military Defense Attorney, who's representing one of the five soldiers, Adam Winfield, explains the fear Winfield experienced not from the enemy, but one of his own soldiers. He describes the failures in the military and the lack of supervision.
