Navy SEAL Acquitted Of Murder

SAN DIEGO (AP) – A Navy SEAL acquitted of killing a wounded war prisoner in Iraq says he’s “happy and grateful.”  Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher spoke briefly with reporters Tuesday after a military jury in San Diego found him not guilty of murder and all but one other charge.  The jury is scheduled to sentence him Wednesday in San Diego.  Gallagher could face up to four months confinement after being convicted of a single charge of posing for photographs with a dead war casualty.  But he could receive credit for the more than six months he served awaiting trial.
