Marine Convicted in Hamdania Slaying

HeadlineAug 02, 2007

Another conviction has come down in the group murder of an Iraqi civilian by U.S. marines in the town of Hamdania last year. Corporal Marshall Magincalda has been found guilty of conspiracy to murder, larceny and housebreaking, but acquitted of premeditated murder. The victim, Hashim Ibrahim Awad, was dragged from his home, shot, and then planted with a weapon to make it appear he was planning an attack. Six other servicemembers have been convicted in the case.
