45-day Jail for Drowning Iraqi
He earns $2,970 (Dh10,911) a month. Prosecutors had recommended Saville, who chose a nonjury trial, be discharged from the Army. “I hope to use these experiences for greater good,” Saville, a 25-year-old West Point graduate, read from a statement. Saville pleaded guilty to assault and other crimes for forcing two curfew violators into the river at gunpoint in January 2004 near Samarra. One of the men allegedly drowned. Saville was convicted on Tuesday of a lesser assault charge for doing nothing to stop another Iraqi man from being forced into the river near Balad in December 2003. During sentencing, Saville apologised, saying his poor decisions “adversely affected US-Iraqi trust during critical times of reconstruction”. He said he has learned from his mistakes and has been forgiven by God. Governor Sonny Perdue said she will receive a $10,000 (Dh36,740) reward.
