  • Rogelio "Roger" Maynulet was a Captain in the United States Army. He was convicted of assault with intent to commit voluntary manslaughter. On May 21, 2004, he was an armor company commander assigned to 2nd Battalion, 37th Armor Regiment (United States), 1st Armored Division and had been on patrol near Kufa, Baghdad. He was notified by his command that a car near his location was thought to be carrying a driver for radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and another militiaman loyal to the Shiite cleric, who led uprisings against U.S. -led forces in Iraq last year. He ordered his company to chase the vehicle and fired at it, wounding both the passenger, who fled and was later apprehended, and the driver. Maynulet had the medic evaluate the driver (Karim Hassan) but since he could not be saved, Maynulet then shot the wounded Iraqi twice, later claiming the act to be a mercy killing. The killing was taped by a U.S. drone surveillance aircraft. On April 2, 2005, he was convicted of the shooting to death of a wounded Iraqi, was dismissed from the military and will serve no prison time.
