Calley faces death verdict in My Lai murder case eye opener
Lt. William L. Calley, 27, convicted of premeditated murder for the My Lai massacre, says the episode should be an eye opener about war. He faces the death penalty or life imprisonment as the longest and most publicized U.S. court martial in modern warfare. He maintains the incident reveals war’s horrors and urges the nation to avoid further conflicts. He claims his unit followed orders and defends the Army while acknowledging he cannot be proud of the killings.
