He was convicted for his role in the March 2007 incident, of shooting two of four Iraqi detainees who were bound, blindfolded and killed execution-style beside a Baghdad canal.
He was acquitted of a charge of obstructing justice and accessory after the fact for the January 2007 incident, in which it was alleged Leahy helped carry a wounded detainee out of a Bradley fighting vehicle before the detainee was shot by then-Company A 1st Sgt. John Hatley.
