California Guard sergeant gets year in Iraq detainee abuse case

http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=3830949

LOS ANGELES A California Army National Guard sergeant has been discharged and sentenced to a year in military confinement for abusing detainees in Iraq.

A Task Force Baghdad spokesman says Sergeant David Fimon pleaded guilty to multiple charges Monday during a court-martial in Baghdad. The court-martial stemmed from allegations that 12 soldiers with the Fullerton-based Alpha Company abused prisoners.

The specific allegations have not been disclosed, but, according to a military official who asked to remain anonymous, investigators have reviewed accusations that soldiers used an electric stun gun to abuse handcuffed and blindfolded detainees.
