The
attorney for Pfc. David Lawrence says the soldier is taking medication for
schizophrenia and isn’t mentally fit to stand trial.
But The
Gazette in Colorado Springs reports that prosecutors said during a hearing
Monday that he was calculated on Oct. 17 when he fired a single shot into the
head of a prisoner north of Khandahar.
The Army
is holding what’s called an Article 32 hearing at Fort Carson in Colorado to
determine if there’s enough evidence to try Lawrence. Testimony continued
Tuesday.
