Calley’s lawyer planned an appeal to the U.S. Court of Military Appeals with Calley vowing to continue the fight. The court found Calley personally participated in ordering the mass killing of unarmed villagers in My Lai on March 16, 1968, despite no combat presence. Calley had been sentenced to life, reduced to 20 years, and is confined at Ft. Benning awaiting appeal outcomes. President Nixon may review the case.
