The Individual and The State

PADUCAH, Ky., May 12 (UPI) — A Kentucky man may become the first person face a death penalty from a U.S. civilian court for crimes committed overseas as a soldier, prosecutors say.

Steven Green was convicted last week in U.S. District Court in Kentucky on charges of murder, rape, conspiracy and obstruction of justice in the 2006 incident involving U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Prosecutors say Green and other soldiers broke into the home of an Iraqi family, raped a 14-year-old girl, killed her and her family and set the home afire, CNN reported.

An individual faces the death penalty. What penalties will The State face?
