August 5, 2007 -- A U.S. soldier has been sentenced to 110 years in prison for the rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and the murder of her family.
The soldier, Jesse Spielman, was sentenced on August 4 following his August 3 conviction by a U.S. military jury at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, for rape, murder, and conspiracy in connection with the killings in March 2006, in the Iraqi town of Al-Mahmudiyah.
Three other U.S. soldiers have pleaded guilty in the case, while another still faces trial.
