A military jury last Monday convicted Spec. Sabrina Harman on all but one of the seven charges she faced for abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. A panel of four Army officers and four senior enlisted soldiers convicted Harman on one count of conspiracy to maltreat detainees, four counts of maltreating detainees and one count of dereliction of duty. The 27-year-old reservist from Lorton, Va., was acquitted on one maltreatment count. Her sentencing hearing was scheduled to begin last Tuesday. Harman faces a maximum of 5 1/2 years in a military prison. Harman was the second soldier to be tried on charges of mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghraib. She was depicted in several of the most notorious photos taken at Abu Ghraib in late October and early November 2003, and she is accused of taking other pictures. Also last Monday, the soldier who blew the whistle on Abu Ghraib abuse, Spec. Joseph Darby, received a John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award in Boston, an award that recognizes acts of political courage. |
