Former Special Forces soldier, once lauded as a hero, faces murder charge
A forthcoming Article 32 hearing will assess the evidence against former Army Maj. Mathew L. Golsteyn and determine if the case should go to trial, said Phillip Stackhouse, the attorney. Golsteyn has been investigated by the military since 2011, when he allegedly said he had killed the man. The admission came during a polygraph test he took while applying for a job at the CIA, according to Army documents.
Golsteyn kept a low profile until October 2016, when he granted a Fox News interview and acknowledged that he had killed a Taliban bombmaker who had been held as a detainee. He said that letting him go would have meant he could later target Afghans who were helping U.S. troops.
The Army reopened its investigation two months later.
