Guard Absolved In Soldier Shooting at Fort Riley

In Pacific Missouri a coroner's jury ruled justifiable homicide in the fatal shooting of Army prisoner Pvt. Albert Lee Kesterson of Springfield while being escorted to Fort Riley. Sgt. J C Walter Alberti Jr. was absolved by both the coroner's jury and Missouri Army authorities. Army officials later said the incident appeared accidental, noting the .45 pistol’s effectiveness at 100 yards would be unlikely and the bullet’s path would drop.
