    MILITARY

    US Army officer convicted of


    murdering Afghan civilians to
    receive an appeal

    by Steve Balestrieri · July 9, 2019

    Having previously gotten nowhere with their


    appeals to the military, the attorneys for
    former Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance will soon
    have their appeal heard by a civilian federal
    court in Kansas. Lorance was convicted by a
    military court-martial of murdering two
    unarmed Afghan civilians on July 2, 2012.
    Lorance’s platoon, part of the 82nd Airborne
    Division, was operating in a hotbed of
    insurgent activity. The unit had already
    sustained four casualties on that deployment,
    including the platoon leader Lorance had
    replaced just days before.

    Just minutes after leaving their base for a


    patrol, the platoon spotted three military-age
    Afghan males riding a motorcycle. Lorance
    ordered one of his men to fire. He squeezed
    off two rounds but missed.

    The Afghans stopped and dismounted their


    motorcycle, then began walking toward some
    nearby Afghan troops located at the front of
    the platoon’s column. The Afghan soldiers
    motioned for the civilians to go back. At this
    point, Lorance ordered one of his soldiers,
    manning an M-240B machine gun, to open
    fire. Two of the Afghan civilians were killed.
    The third was wounded but managed to
    escape.
