SEATTLE — The Army says it will not pursue the death penalty against the first of five U.S. soldiers charged with murdering civilians in Afghanistan.
Spec. Jeremy Morlock of Wasilla, Alaska, is the only one of the defendants thus far to have a preliminary hearing in the deaths of the three Afghans this year. The Army announced Friday that a court-martial will be held and that Morlock will face a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
