LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Weeping relatives of a murdered Iraqi family confronted the killer Thursday in an American courtroom and said he deserved to die.
The object of their outrage, former Pfc. Steven Dale Green, spoke publicly for the first time since his arrest nearly three years ago. He told his victims’ relatives that he will face “God’s justice” after spending the rest of his life in prison.
The jury failed to agree on a sentence for Green, meaning he automatically receives life imprisonment without parole.
Green, 24, of Midland, Texas, was convicted of rape and murder. The remainder of the hearing and formal sentencing are scheduled for Sept. 4.
