SAN DIEGO—A Navy SEAL pleaded not guilty on Jan. 4 to charges of premeditated murder and other crimes in the stabbing death of a teenage ISIS prisoner in Iraq last year and the shooting of unarmed Iraqi civilians.
Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher will stand trial between Feb. 19 and March 1 before a jury that will be one-third enlisted personnel. Gallagher has been jailed since his arrest on Sept. 11, and a judge said he will determine next week whether the 19-year Navy veteran should be released before the trial.
