Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher is found NOT GUILTY of murdering ISIS fighter and will walk free despite being convicted of one war crime - posing with a corpse - which he has already served time for

Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher has been found not guilty of murder and attempted murder after a two week war crimes trial.

The jury took less than a day to reach a verdict. Gallager, 40, was convicted of posing with the ISIS fighter's corpse but is expected to walk free from court on Tuesday.

The maximum sentence for the crime is four months and he spent longer than that in confinement awaiting trial before being freed by President Trump in March.

Gallagher's attorney said the trial was a 'mutiny' and that he was being set up for the murder of the young ISIS fighter in 2017 by a group of younger SEALs who did not like his tough, old-school leadership style.
