USA: thrill killings in Afghanistan
Holmes said he used a heavy machine gun to shoot “six to eight rounds at the man,” but added that he has “regretted it ever since.”
“I remember when this whole thing down and they pulled his dad and his brother down there and they were sitting there looking at their son and brother and he was on the ground. It was a terrible thing. I wish I could have done things different, I wish I would have had time to process what was actually going on.

By pleading guilty to the crime of unpremeditated murder, Holmes worked out a deal with prosecutors that will spare from him receiving a sentence of life in prison. Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs, who is being considered by court-martials as the “ringleader” of the January 2010 incident, still stands to face trial. He is expected to go before a judge in November.
