TEXAS: Green shot and killed the teen’s mother, father and sister, then became the third soldier to rape her before shooting her in the face. Her body was set on fire March 12, 2006, at their rural home outside Mahmoudiya, Iraq, about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
What the defendant did was horrifying and inexcusable,Now his case was under the UState judiciary and this former
soldier received five consecutive life sentences for his role in the rape and murder of an Iraqi teenager and the slaying of three of her family members.
A civilian jury in western Kentucky convicted Green in May of raping Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, conspiracy and multiple counts of murder.
Green told the judge he merely followed orders from other soldiers involved in the attack. “You can act like I’m a sociopath. You can act like I’m a sex offender or whatever,” Green said. “If I had not joined the Army, if I had not gone to Iraq, I would not have got caught up in anything.”
Green repeatedly apologized to the al-Janabi family, saying he knew little about Iraqis and realizes now his actions then were wrong. Green described the attacks as “evil” and said when he dies “there will be justice and whatever I deserve, I’ll get.”

Why is it when people are convicted, only then they come to their senses? Why can't they listen to their inner conscious before giving in to temptation to kill n sin? Is it really that hard to do such a thing that would have a better consequence than the mess they got themselves into? The outcome is far more grievous if they fall to be victims of their own lust n stupidity, but it is seem inevitable. Are we really that doomed?
Ya Allah, protect me from my self ignorance n my weaknesses. Auzubillah hi an aku na minal jahilin. I ask the protection from Allah from being one of the ignorant people.
