FORT HOOD, Texas (Army News Service, Feb. 10, 2005) -- The seventh Soldier to face court-martial for abusing Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib was sentenced Feb. 4 after pleading guilty to dereliction of duty, making false official statements and battery.

Sgt. Javal Davis, 372nd Military Police Company, was sentenced by a military panel of four officers and five enlisted Soldiers to: six months in a military prison; reduction in rank to private (E-1) and a bad conduct discharge upon completion of his prison time.

Three days earlier, Spc. Roman Krol, Company A, 325th Military Intelligence Battalion, pleaded guilty Feb. 1 to conspiracy and maltreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib.

Krol had made a pretrial plea agreement with prosecutors, and chose to have his sentence decided by a military judge. He was sentenced to reduction in rank to private (E-1), a bad conduct discharge and confinement for 10 months. <snip>
