A U.S. military judge has cleared a Navy SEAL of wrongdoing in the alleged beating of a prisoner suspected of masterminding the grisly 2004 killings of four American contractors in Iraq.
The military says the judge found insufficient evidence to convict Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Keefe on charges of dereliction of duty.
Petty Officer 1st Class Julio Huertas was cleared of charges in the incident yesterday. One more Navy SEAL is still facing charges related to the incident.
