VILSECK, Germany — A jury has found a US army medic from Illinois guilty of murder in the execution-style slaying of 4 Iraqis.

Sgt. Michael Leahy Jr., 28, was found guilty on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder by the nine-person jury.

Leahy was acquitted of murder in a separate incident involving the death of another Iraqi in January 2007.

Leahy, wearing his dress uniform, sat impassively as the verdicts were handed down by the foreman of the jury made up of officers and enlisted personnel.

1. Wow

"Leahy, who had pleaded not guilty, confessed to military investigators that he shot one of the prisoners point-blank in the back of the head with a 9mm pistol."

2. I hope he goes to prison for the rest of his life

I cannot abide murder being committed by anyone who wears the uniform of the United States Army.
