the killings.

Prosecutors portrayed Stone as a meek novice who
overlooked the killings in an attempt to gain favor with the other
Marines. In his closing argument, Lt. Col. Paul Atterbury said that
Stone knew women and children were killed in their homes but that he
did nothing in response.
"The battalion judge advocate has a duty to make sure
his Marines do not become desensitized to the mortally bruising combat
environment that is Al Anbar, Iraq," Atterbury said.
Defense attorney Charles Gittins said that the
prosecution's case was based on the assumption that Stone knew the
killings were wrong, but that prosecutors had the luxury of hindsight.
More senior Marines saw no need to investigate the deaths because they
were deemed to have been a lawful consequence of combat, he said.
"He had no more knowledge about the deaths than the
division commander, who was actually briefed by the battalion
commander," Gittins said.
Atterbury said it was irrelevant that Stone's superiors
saw no need for an investigation.
