The last of four US soldiers has gone on trial for his part in the murder of three Iraqi detainees on 9 May 2006.
Sgt Raymond Girouard, 24, is the most senior soldier to face a court-martial for the killings during a raid on a suspected insurgent camp near Samarra.
He denies ordering his soldiers to shoot the Iraqi prisoners, but admits his role in covering up the deaths.
Two soldiers have pleaded guilty to murder and were jailed for 18 years. Another was sentenced to nine months.
Specialist William Hunsaker and Private First Class Corey Clagett - who admitted to releasing and then shooting the men - received 18-year sentences in a deal with military prosecutors.
Specialist Juston Graber - who said he killed an injured prisoner in what he called a mercy killing - admitted aggravated assault and was jailed for nine months.
