Facts

United States Navy Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher (defendant) was charged with various violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice based on Gallagher’s alleged conduct while part of a naval special-warfare group serving in Iraq in 2017. Among other things, Gallagher was charged with premeditated murder based on Gallagher’s alleged stabbing of a wounded captive who was under Gallagher’s care. Gallagher was also charged with engaging in behavior that would discredit the armed forces based on Gallagher’s alleged posing for unofficial pictures with a corpse. Gallagher pleaded not guilty to the charges, and a trial was held before a general court-martial.
