Medina challenges key Calley testimony at My Lai trial
Capt. Ernest Medina testifies he warned troops not to kill civilians and recalls finding 20 to 28 bodies at a village crossing. He says Calley testified to orders to wipe out civilians while Medina claims he ordered restraint and may have misread enemy counts. The proceedings feature stark contradictions between Medina and Calley during the My Lai massacre court-martial.
