What was the punishment? This story was written before it was handed down. " The panel will reconvene later Thursday to consider Maynulet's sentence." Also, keep in mind what happened to Calley's sentence as it went up the chain of command. It kept getting cut at each review level, and he ended up doing 3 years house arrest for a sentence that was originally either 20 years or life.
Ironic, too, since Calley should have been executed. I thought it was Nixon who demanded he be given house arrest and not prison. I guess I misread this most recent article, I thought he had been given 10 years in prison.
