A U.S. soldier has been charged with premeditated murder in the deaths of three Afghan civilians, Fox News has confirmed.
Specialist Jeremy Morlock, a 22-year-old Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier, was charged Friday with murdering three Afghan civilians this year in Kandahar province. He also was charged with assaulting a soldier in his unit.
Morlock, of Wasilla, Alaska, could face the death penalty if convicted.

Ha! That was my very first thought on hearing that the man was from Wasilla!
Associate? They will have this kid as Palin’s deep dark secret abandoned child.
I read the article of foxnews.com. He seems like a grown trouble child. however, I always give the benefit of the doubt to soldier accused of killing non-Americans in a war-zone.
I just thought it was interesting how they want to somehow attach Palin to this.
The three navy Seals beat the charges so they are looking for another Goat to Scape.
Does it bother anyone else that this blurb didn’t address the actual case this guy was involved in?
Look, I think a person’s history is pertinent, but for heaven’s sake he’s not possibly going to be sentenced to death for any of that (no matter how unsavory it is, and this was).
Tell us some information about what he was found guilty of.
This guy was serving in an active war zone where he’s supposed to kill. Now explain why this was different, or don’t address the story at all.
Really? Who is 'they'?
Neither the Fox story nor the Seattle Times article even mention her, let alone attach her to the story.
The soldier's hometown is entirely germane to the story......so what are you ranting about?
The posted info from Fox, and the underlying article, do not mention Palin at all.
I suppose you can find a blog somewhere that blames Bush as well, or Cheney, or the Jews, or the Amish.
You are still flailing at goblins in the night.
I'm sure a whole lot more, in several versions, will eventurally come out either supporting or refuting this story, and the accused will either be found guilty, or not.
However, if what Winfield said turns out to be actually true, then it was murder.
I agree. And if one of our guys has tried to do the right thing, it doesn’t look good for those charged.
If it’s found to be true, watch what we do about it. If something similar is perpetrated by the other side, they celebrate it en mass, and praise Allah.
We attribute such actions by our players to be the work of Satan.
We attribute our good works to our God.
By their works ye shall know them.
What are the odds that the soldier involved is from Wasilla, Alaska?..... of ALL places?
Amen.
