Graner's Parents Testify for Him in Penalty Phase
The military jury began hearing sentencing arguments Friday night in Charles Graner's prisoner abuse trial. First up were his parents:
"I bear no malice for you," Graner's father said. "When he came home, we were going to go fishing. He was going tell me about the war. Now, that fishing is going to be postponed. For how long, it's going to be up to you. "I'd get down on my knees and beg to you, but my son wouldn't let me do it."
Graner's mother, Irma, said she will always consider her son a hero. "He's kind, gentle, will do anything for anybody," she said. "He's not the one that he's being made out to be."
The hearing resumes Saturday morning, and Graner will testify.
