"A U.S. soldier has been convicted on charges involving the random murders of three unarmed Afghan civilians last year.
Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs was found guilty Thursday by a military jury after a weeklong court martial at an Army post in Washington state. The 26-year-old soldier was sentenced to life in prison, but is eligible for parole after serving at least eight years.
Prosecutors said Gibbs led a five-member rogue U.S. army unit, described as a "kill team." The charges against him ranged from murder to chopping fingers off victims to keep as trophies."
