Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A former Blackwater Worldwide security guard sentenced to life in prison for the deaths of at least 14 unarmed Iraqis in Baghdad in 2007 won a new trial Friday.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington ruled that during the 2014 trial of Nicholas Slatten, Judge Royce Lamberth should have allowed testimony from a co-defendent who said he fired the first shots in the massacre, not Slatten.
