Navy SEAL accused of killing ISIS detainee was victim of 'target fixation,' attorney says in closing arguments
Accused Navy SEAL's fate in jury's hands
Jurors will begin their first full day of deliberations in the court-martial of a decorated Navy SEAL accused of murdering a wounded ISIS war prisoner in Iraq. Jury deliberations started Monday following closing argumentswhere military prosecutors said Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher's words and actions proved he murdered a member of the Islamic State terror network in May 2017. The defense argued the prosecution's case had "huge gaping holes" and that Gallagher was a subject of "fixation" by military prosecutors. "They started with a conclusion ... [and] ... ignored everything that didn't fit," Timothy Parlatore told the jury of five Marines and two sailors during his closing argument.
