Army criminal investigators have only now completed their first visit to the crime scene where Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is alleged to have murdered 17 Afghan civilians. They are refusing to make any comment about the evidence they’ve gathered.
This photo gives a small glimpse into what the crime scene used to look like:
See here for a report in which eyewitnesses describe Bales’s violence and claim he did not act alone.
The lawyer representing Bales has recently made public complaints about the U.S. military blocking his own investigation into the case, preventing him from gathering any evidence and from speaking to any of those witnesses.
Some Afghan officials are saying the evidence at the crime scene has been compromised.
