No jail for US soldier in Afghan abuse
A US military jury has spared an army reservist jail time but reduced his rank for assaulting a prisoner who later died at a detention centre in Afghanistan.
Prosecutors had asked that Private First Class Willie V Brand, 27, be sent to a military prison for 10 years with a dishonourable discharge for the 2002 beating.
Instead, the panel on Thursday reduced his rank to private, the lowest pay grade in the army. Brand sighed in relief and hugged his lawyer.
