While original reports through TV and other made me originally say "Guilty", after reading this article I am having some doubts that they caught the correct man, or that it is possible that more than one person had been involved as there are just some things that do not add up.
1. No one can place him at the scene and no one can prove the allegations of theft of the materials from the Humvee.
2. Hansen pointed out that two different soldiers testified they told investigators that Akbar was not the man they saw shoot Seifert. One witness said he saw a second shot fired that he thought came from a second shooter.
3. The probe was tainted when Col. Ben Hodges, the brigade commander, told the arriving investigator that a soldier had confessed to the crime because he said American soldiers were going to rape and kill Muslims in Iraq.
I am defiantly currently not going to be quick to give guilty verdict until more facts have been presented. Currently smells of scapegoat!!!
A Penny for your thoughts!!!!
