The other guy had already made a deal to not be prosecuted....check his bank account if you're gonna do that.So Gallagher stabbed the guy, to kill him, but some other guy made the kill happen faster, and in Gallagher' s honorable character thought taking the picture and posing with him would boost moral???Marine testifies Navy SEAL did not stab detainee
Marine Staff Sgt. Giorgio Kirylo said he watched as Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher tried to save the 17-year-old captive and never saw him use his hunting knife on him.
Gallagher is accused of fatally stabbing the adolescent captive while he was under his care in Iraq in 2017 and to shooting civilians. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder.
After the boy died, Kirylo said he moved the corpse to pose for a "cool guy trophy" photo because it was the platoon's first Islamic State prisoner captured from their battlefield.
He said he lifted up the teen's body to put the corpse's head on his foot when a bandage on his neck popped up.
Kirylo statements contradict those of other SEALs who testified that Gallagher, a 19-year veteran on his eighth deployment, stabbed the prisoner with his hunting knife.
Two of the SEALs testified that they witnessed the stabbing, but one — Corey Scott — said he was the one who ultimately killed the militant by plugging his breathing tube with his thumb as an act of mercy.
Kirylo statements contradict those of other SEALs who testified that Gallagher, a 19-year veteran on his eighth deployment, stabbed the prisoner with his hunting knife.
Kirylo said he was close friends with several SEALs who reported the stabbing, but he now considers them liars.
Okee Dokee.....
