SAN DIEGO - Defense lawyers in the murder trial of a U.S. Navy SEAL rested their case on Friday after three days of testimony contesting accusations that the platoon leader had fatally stabbed a wounded Iraqi captive and shot innocent civilians.
After the defense rested, the presiding judge said he planned to give instructions to the seven-member jury on Monday before the two sides present closing arguments. Breisch told jurors that one platoon member suddenly “blurted out” to him in April 2018 that Gallagher had stabbed a prisoner. an accusation Breisch said came after word surfaced that Gallagher was up for a Silver Star medal, the San Diego Union-Tribune said.
He is also charged with attempted murder in the wounding of two civilians, a schoolgirl and an elderly man, shot from a sniper’s perch, as well as with obstruction of justice and other offenses. Those include unlawfully posing for photographs with the dead captive’s corpse.He has denied all charges. The thrust of his defense has been that fellow SEAL team members testifying against him under grants of immunity are disgruntled subordinates fabricating allegations to force him from the Navy.
