Afghan massacre: US soldier's appeal fails
Former US Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales has failed in his appeal over his conviction and life sentence for the slayings of 16 Afghan civilians.
Associated PressSeptember 29, 20177:39am
An appeals court has upheld the conviction and life sentence of former US Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales for the slayings of 16 Afghan civilians and the wounding of six others in solitary pre-dawn raids on two villages in 2012.
The US Army Court of Criminal Appeals, at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, rejected Bales' appeal on Wednesday.
Bales, an Ohio native recently stationed in Washington state, pleaded guilty in 2013 to avoid the death penalty.
