Colonel Acquitted in Mercy Killing at Air Base Court Martial

A forward American air base officer was acquitted today of voluntary manslaughter after a general court martial found the mercy killing of a trapped airman not criminal. The 21-year-old lieutenant colonel, commander of the base’s nuclear group, faced testimony about a crash in which two crew members were killed and others injured. The incident occurred January 18 as a fighter jet overshot a runway, with witnesses recounting the tortuous rescue attempts and the trapped pilot and sergeant. The defense argued the shooting was an act of mercy, and the court martial heard from ten witnesses before reaching its verdict.
