Closing arguments are expected to begin today in the murder trial against Navy Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher.
after being accused of tracking the defense team’s emails to find a news leak, and the lead investigator acknowledged on the stand making mistakes.
Seven SEALs said Gallagher unexpectedly stabbed the prisoner on May 3, 2017, moments after he and the other medics treated the 17-year-old boy. Gallagher also took photos of himself with the corpse. In one picture, he’s holding up his knife in one hand and holding the militant by his hair with his other hand. He later boasted in a text, “got him with my hunting knife.” Defense lawyers say it was just a warrior’s attempt at dark humor.
But his accusers said it went beyond the theft of sunglasses and snacks. “The Sewing Circle” members tried to distinguish themselves as the “True Brotherhood” vs. the “Real Brotherhood,” which supporters of Gallagher have coined for themselves. Special Operations Chief Craig Miller, who was also part of “the Sewing Circle,” testified that he saw Gallagher stab the captive multiple times with a custom-made knife Gallagher would carry in the belt loops of his pants. Miller said he told the platoon’s officer in charge during their tour but that nothing happened.
