FORT BLISS, Texas (AP) - An Army private was acquitted Thursday of charges that he abused inmates at a U.S. detention facility in Afghanistan.
Pfc. Damien M. Corsetti was the last soldier charged in the Army's investigations of prisoner abuse in Afghanistan. He cried with relief when the court-martial panel cleared him of charges of assault, maltreatment, dereliction of duty, using hashish and drinking on duty.
The panel deliberated about 30 minutes.
