First Abu Ghraib Sentence Handed Down

Jeremy Sivits plead guilty to charges of abusing Iraqi prisoners and was given the maximum penalty: one year in jail, loss of rank and a bad conduct discharge.

His plea was in exchange for cooperating with the government in their investigations. He apparently made a tearful apology in front of the court, saying he should have done more to stop the abuse.
