Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher was found not guilty of murdering an ISIS prisoner in Iraq. The decorated Navy Seal had been accused of stabbing to death the wounded teenage captive back in 2017.

David, as you can see I've extracted part of your Post (hopefully without taking it too much out of context).

I have never been in the situation of being in a fire-fight, capturing, and disarming a wounded enemy. Maybe you have. I can though use my imagination. I'd imagine that it would still be very very stressful. What does one do when another human being that you yourself have mortally wounded and is dying in agony in front of you? Your adrenaline is still pumping and there may be other enemies close by. I'd be quite stressed I think.

I know that the court case covered a huge amount of evidence but I thought the following was interesting ...
"Special Operator First Class Corey Scott, a SEAL medic who was given immunity from prosecution by the Navy, stunned prosecutors by testifying that he, and not Chief Gallagher, had killed the captive, by covering a breathing tube inserted in the captive’s neck. His testimony also deviated in other significant ways from what he had told investigators before trial; the Navy has indicated it is considering charging him with perjury."
