Army sources say 24 to be charged in My Lai case
Army sources expect charges against most of 24 under investigation for the My Lai massacre. Nine soldiers and 15 former members are likely to face court actions, including First Lt. William L. Calley Jr., already awaiting court martial for premeditated murder. S. Sgt. David Mitchell faces possible assault with intent to kill. The probe may take four months as leads arise. The ACLU asks for Calley's charges to be dropped and an independent commission be formed.
