Medina Not Placed At Slaughter Site
The Medina court martial opens with nine Charlie Company witnesses who fail to place Capt. Ernest L. Medina at the My Lai killings while Calley faces murder conviction in a parallel case. Prosecution seeks 48 witnesses as Bailey questions the relevance of testimony and defense hints at limited cross examination. Sledge and Turner testified they saw Medina fire over a prisoner's head and observed killings during interrogations. Turner described Calley herding villagers into a ditch and executing them.
