Georgia soldier's sergeant charged with murder

The former Army supervisor who ordered a Georgia soldier to kill an unarmed Iraqi will stand trial for pre-meditated murder. Sgt. 1st Class Trey Corrales is accused of shooting the man when his platoon raided a house last summer near Kirkuk. Corrales will also be tried for ordering a soldier in his platoon, Specialist Christopher Shore of Winder, Georgia, to shoot the Iraqi after Corrales shot him. Shore faces a murder charge but says he intentionally missed hitting the man because he was afraid of disobeying an order.
