Medina Lawyer Denies Orders To Kill Women at Song My
F Lee Bailey said Capt Ernest Medina was told Song My in South Vietnam was stacked with Viet Cong and would be cleared of noncombatants. An Army inquiry has charged a lieutenant with premeditated murder of 109 civilians and a sergeant with assault for aiming to murder 30. Medina, not facing charges, reportedly received a radio caution after the attack. He shot a man who turned out to be a woman after a helicopter pilot indicated a Viet Cong lay on the ground.
