CBC - Capt. Robert Semrau has been found guilty by a military panel of disgraceful conduct but not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of a wounded Afghan insurgent.
The charge of behaving in a disgraceful manner carries a penalty of up to five years in prison. Semrau's lawyers will be back in court Tuesday to present a Charter of Rights argument over military sentencing procedures.
