SAN ANTONIO - Army Pfc. Lynndie England will abandon her earlier courtroom strategy and fight charges that she was a key participant in prisoner abuse by guards at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, her lawyer said.

The 22-year-old reservist, made infamous by a series of graphic photos taken inside Abu Ghraib, goes on trial Tuesday at Fort Hood, Texas, on seven counts of mistreating prisoners.

She will be the last of a group of junior enlisted soldiers charged with Abu Ghraib abuses to have their cases resolved. Two have been convicted at trial, while six others made plea deals and received prison sentences of up to eight years.

1. She'll be found "suicided" in her cell if she balks.

Or be convinced she can be executed, and take the deal.

2. Just realized it's a dupe
