Witness Tests Calley as Lone Executioner at Ditch
Testimony in the Calley murder court martial described Lt. Calley as firing into civilian groups driven to a ditch by U.S. troops. Col. Reid Kennedy denied defense motions to bar or limit specific witness accounts, allowing details of a 9 minute and a 90 minute parade of civilians to the ditch. Turner, the infantry team leader, testified he saw Calley fire into a Vietnamese woman and others, with the defense challenging scope of evidence. The judge kept the account within the government’s bill of particulars and noted jurors must resolve any factual variance.
