CAMP PENDLETON, California (AP) -- A Marine reservist was found guilty Thursday of killing an Iraqi soldier while they stood watch together at a guard post in Falluja last year.
Lance Cpl. Delano Holmes, 22, of Indianapolis, was convicted of negligent homicide, but acquitted of the greater charge of unpremeditated homicide. He was also convicted of making a false official statement.
A panel of three officers and five enlisted Marines returned the verdict after two days of deliberating over whether the December 31, 2006, killing of Pvt. Munther Muhammed Hassin was an act of murder or self-defense.
