The Daily

Background reading:
- After a key witness for prosecutors changed his story on the stand, Chief Gallagher was found not guilty of the most serious charges against him, including the first-degree murder of a captive ISIS fighter and attempted murder of civilians in Iraq.
- Some SEAL commanders expressed worry that the verdict would discourage others from reporting possible war crimes in the future.
