Guilty


Lynndie England isn't smiling any more.

A military jury found her guilty on six of seven counts (conspiracy, maltreating detainees x4, and committing an indecent act).

She faces a maximum of only 10 years in military prison; however, under civilian law, she likely would have paid the hefty price of a promotion and re-assignment to the location of her choice.

Now, if it were only legal to sentence her to the conditions she set for the prisoners she was guarding. She obviously didn't think it was too cruel or unusual...
