Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington (CNN) -- A five-person military panel convicted Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs Thursday of all charges against him, including the murders of three Afghan civilians.

He faces a maximum sentence of life in military prison.

The verdict was delivered in a drafty military courtroom near Tacoma, a world away from the tiny, sun-baked Afghan villages he is accused of terrorizing as the leader of what prosecutors call a rogue group of soldiers that targeted civilians.

The panel of three officers and two enlisted soldiers started deliberating shortly before 10 a.m. (1 p.m. ET) and returned its verdict around 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET).
