Sgt. Derrick Miller’s case looked open and shut among the various war crime allegations that have come out of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq over nearly two decades.
A Maryland Army National Guard infantryman at the end of his third combat deployment shot an unarmed Afghan man during an interrogation at gunpoint on Sept. 26, 2010, in Laghman province, prosecutors said. They successfully charged Miller with premeditated murder and put him away for a life sentence in military prison at Fort Leavenworth.
