Lawyer wants to call top commander as witness
As the military hearing for England entered its fourth day, defence lawyer Rick Hernandez also asked the judge if he could call Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, who ran Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib prison where the photos were taken. The judge, Colonel Denise Arn, was noncommittal and said it would be handled later.
Colonel Arn is holding the hearing at Fort Bragg in North Carolina to decide whether England, a reservist, should be court martialled on 13 counts of abusing detainees and six counts stemming from possession of sexually explicit photos.
