FILE - This undated photo provided by the U.S. Army shows U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar Green Beret, who died from non-combat related injuries in Mali in June 2017. A defense attorney for a U.S. Marine has told jurors that he played a minor role in the hazing of a U.S. Green Beret and should not be found guilty of murder and other crimes in the soldierâs death. Marine Lt. Col. Timothy Kuhn spoke Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at a U.S. Navy base in Norfolk, Virginia. He said that Mario Madera-Rodriguez never touched Melgar during the fatal hazing incident until he tried to help revive him. (U.S. Army via AP, File)
