Navy Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher was found not guilty on Tuesday of first-degree murder of a captive fighter and attempted murder of civilians in Iraq, but was convicted of a single charge for posing with the dead body of an ISIS captive.
Because the maximum sentence he could face was four months and he has spent more time than that in pre-trial confinement, he will go free Tuesday.
