Chronology Of My Lai Trials Compares Accused Men
The piece surveys the My Lai court-martial timeline. It profiles William Calley and other officers including Mitchell, Hutto, Kotouc, and Medina, detailing verdicts and sentences. It notes Calley's conviction for 22 murders and life sentence later reduced, and Medina’s acquittal. It mentions the broader coverup charges against Col. Henderson and Kosar, with the aftermath across military and civilian jurisdictions. The narrative ties testimonies, briefs, and public reaction to the 14-year span since the action in Son My village. The Marion incident about a deer at a school is included as a separate brief.
