A prosecution witness called in the court-martial of an Army reservist who is charged in the Abu Ghraib scandal said Friday that it was he, not the defendant, who had handed electrical wires to a hooded Iraqi forced to stand on a box for an hour.
The witness, testifying under cross-examination, also said he had never seen the defendant, Specialist Sabrina Harman, participate in that episode, in which the prisoner was told he would be electrocuted if he fell off the box, or several other instances of mistreatment attributed to her by prosecutors.
