    Baghdad Mawazine News
    A US federal court of appeals has overturned a life sentence for a former security guard at Blackwater in the killing of 14 Iraqi civilians in downtown Baghdad in 2007.
    According to the Washington Post, the court ordered the retrial of the same employee and three of his accomplices, all of whom worked for the company, while the previous sentence was not annulled.
    The Court of Appeal of the US Department of Justice, Washington, decided to "drop the life sentence for the first defendant in the case of opening fire on Iraqi citizens in the yard of the Nsour, in Baghdad, killing 14 civilians."
    The court, which gave life sentence to Nicholas Slaten, 33, "misjudged" when he did not try him in isolation from his other three colleagues, although he was the only one to receive a death sentence for being the first to open fire.
    In September 2007, Slainen, along with colleagues Paul Slo, 37, Ivan Liberti, 34, and Daston Hurd, 35, worked as employees of Blackwater, a US State Department contracting firm, while escorted by a diplomatic delegation Opened fire indiscriminately on a group of Iraqi civilians, killing 14 people and wounding several others, including children and women.
    Although Blackwater contractors alleged that they had been suspected of being shot, all witnesses and survivors of the massacre confirmed that the claims were untrue.
    As a result, the American judiciary sentenced the former to life imprisonment and 30 others were imprisoned. The court did not overturn the previous sentence against the three, but only sentenced them to retrial.

    US court re-examines the punishment of the perpetrators of the crime of eagles

     Baghdad / AFP

    A US federal appeals court has overturned the conviction of a Blackwater security man serving a life sentence in a shooting case that killed 14 Iraqis in Baghdad in 2007.
    The court also ordered a review of the verdicts of three other members of Blackwater who were involved in killing civilians Including women and children in Baghdad. All three were sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment.
    The four convicted members of a Blackwater team named "Raven 23" and the State Department's security chief were convicted in connection with a security incident in the Iraqi capital on September 16, 2007 at Nisour Square in Baghdad.
    They confirmed during their trial in 2014 that they fired in self-defense. But did not provide evidence that they were shot and accused of opening fire indiscriminately. The shooting killed 14 Iraqi civilians and injured 17 others, and badly damaged contractors in the security sector.
    Nicholas Slaten, 33, was convicted of firing first and sentenced to life imprisonment. But the Circuit Court of Appeals in the Sirkuit area on Friday dismissed his conviction after seeing it should not have been tried separately from the trial of the three other convicts. Slatan is likely to be retried.
    The other three security men, Dustin Hurd, Ivan Liberti and Paul Slaw, were convicted of murder, attempted murder and the use of a firearm to commit a violent crime.
    They found that the sentences imposed on them for 30 years because of violation of the rules of fire were "totally disproportionate" to the facts and ordered reconsideration
    .
    "By reaching this conclusion, it is not our intention at all to minimize the seriousness of the massacre attributed to Sloo, Herd and Liberty," the judges said. They added that "their bad governance led to the death of innocent people," stressing that "what happened in the Eagles Square is greater than any description of civilization."
    Blackwater, founded by Eric Pernes, the brother of current US Education Secretary Betsy Davos, changed her name in 2009 to X-A and then became "academic" two years later.
