FORT HOOD (TEXAS), JAN. 15. Army Spc. Charles Graner Jr., the reputed ringleader of a band of rogue guards at the Abu Ghraib prison, was convicted of abusing Iraqi detenus in a case that sparked international outrage when photographs were released that showed reservists gleefully humiliating prisoners. Graner, the first soldier to be court-martialled in the scandal, was convicted on Friday of all five charges and faces up to 15 years behind bars. Four other soldiers have pleaded guilty in the scandal. Graner stood at attention and looked straight ahead without expression as each verdict was read. His parents, Charles and Irma Graner, held hands tightly as they listened. The jury took less than five hours to reach the verdict, and began the sentencing phase on Friday evening. The prosecution wrapped up its sentencing testimony quickly, but Graner's attorney called seven witnesses before testimony ended for the night, and planned at least two more on Saturday. It was unclear whether Graner, who did not testify during the trial, would be one of them.
