WASHINGTON (AP) - An airman was acquitted Wednesday of killing a U.S. servicewoman, who was beaten and stabbed at a military base in Iceland, to keep her from testifying against him in a theft case.
Airman Calvin Eugene Hill exhaled heavily as the verdict was announced at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington. A military jury also found Hill not guilty of obstruction of justice.
Hill, 21, of Warren, Ohio, had faced the death penalty if convicted in the death of Airman First Class Ashley Turner.
