Defense challenges key evidence in Fort Stewart killings
At Fort Stewart Georgia the trial of Spc Neftaly Platero enters its second week as his defense calls Army crime laboratory analysts who found no gunshot residue on his hands and only one microscopic particle on his shirt. Prosecutors and defense agree two soldiers were killed and a third wounded in Fallujah Iraq in 2010. The case, involving the 3rd Battalion 15th Infantry, hinges on whether Platero fired the rifle or others did. The judge scheduled closing arguments following testimony from witnesses who recalled hearing gunfire but offered limited details.
