FORT HOOD (UNITED STATES), FEB. 5. Sgt. Javal Davis, who admitted abusing detenus at Abu Ghraib in late 2003, was sentenced to six months in a military prison and given a bad-conduct discharge from the Army. A nine-man military jury deliberated for about 5 hours yesterday before sentencing Davis, a former Abu Ghraib guard who earlier this week confessed to stepping on the hands and feet of a group of handcuffed detenus and falling with his full weight on top of them. After the verdict was read, Davis' mother sobbed uncontrollably in the courtroom. Davis gave his father a long hug while a tear rolled down Davis' face. ``All of you who aren't my family can leave now,'' Davis snapped at spectators after judge Col. James Pohl and the jury left the courtroom. Davis will also be reduced in rank to private while serving his sentence, which could be as short as 4 months for good conduct in prison and credit for time served. — AP
