OKLAHOMA CITY – The Army’s Clemency and Parole Board has reduced the sentence of an Edmond soldier convicted of murdering an Iraqi detainee, according to Rep. Mary Fallin’s office.
First Lt. Michael Behenna was charged with killing an Iraqi detainee in September 2008. The Army’s Clemency and Parole Board decided to reduce the sentence by five years for the second time.
The latest reduction brings the original 25-year-sentence down to 15 years.
Earlier this month Vicki Behenna and several family members made a trip to Washington D.C. to speak on her son’s behalf at a hearing before the board.
In May 2009 Behenna’s mother, Vicki Behenna said prosecutors withheld key evidence in the trial and asked the state’s congressional delegation to investigate her son’s case. The Behennas filed an appeal in December 2009.
First Lt. Michael Behenna is currently serving his sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
