Testimony has ended in the murder trial of a Navy SEAL accused of fatally stabbing a prisoner in Iraq. Closing arguments are expected to start Monday.
Defense attorneys for Eddie Gallagher rested their case Friday. Prosecutors didn't call rebuttal witnesses, leading the way for closing arguments to begin Monday morning. Prosecutors had called 14 witnesses in six days and defense attorneys began calling witnesses on Wednesday.Gallagher, a special operations chief, is accused of stabbing a prisoner to death, posing for a photo next to a corpse, shooting at noncombatants and intimidating SEALs who could report his behavior.
Giorgio Kirylo, who was deployed in Mosul with Gallagher in 2017, testified that he did not see stab wounds on the ISIS detainee's neck. Kirylo testified he moved the body, after medical efforts failed, to take a"trophy photo." He said"everyone was happy about the day" and the success of the mission and wanted a photo, he said.
