On Tuesday, a military jury freed Special Operations Chief, Edward Gallagher, of premeditated murder. It was for the killing of a wounded Islamic State captive handed to them for care in 2017.  Gallagher’s photo of him holding the dead captive up by the hair and holding a knife in the other hand with the text message,” got him with my hunting knife.” was what prosecuted him for this crime. Five marines and two sailors had to decide whether Gallagher had stabbed the captive or framed by platoon members that want to stop him from being promoted. Testimonies from some navy seals had said that they saw the chief stab the captive in the neck. Defense lawyers said that the photos and text messages were just dark humor. It was later uncovered that when Marine Staff Sergeant Giorgio moved the dead body, he saw no stab wounds on the neck. There was no body evidence and no blood on the knife, so it was assumed other things could have caused the death. In result, he was found not guilty of the Navy’s most well known war cases.
