A second U.S. soldier was convicted today of murdering four Iraqi detainees while he was stationed in Baghdad two years ago. Sergeant First Class Joseph Mayo, 27, out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, pleaded guilty to premeditated murder in the execution-style killings of four Iraqi prisoners, who were bound and blindfolded. Mayo has been sentenced to 35 years in prison, and will be eligible for parole in 10 years.
In February, Sergeant Michael Leahy, 28, was sentenced to life in prison after he also admitted to the execution-style killing of one of the prisoners and shooting another. He will also be eligible for parole.
