Lynndie England's former lover, Abu Ghraib ringleader Charles Graner, testified for her at her trial this week. He told the court this and this was his idea. Graner was a bad apple well before being placed as a prison guard at Abu Ghraib. Now a prisoner himself, serving a ten year sentence for prisoner abuse, he's still causing trouble:

Military officials say he has caused trouble even since the start of his 10 years prison sentence, refusing, for example, to shave in accordance with military prison regulations and earning himself solitary confinement. A spokesman for the prosecution said Graner was forcibly shaved before his testimony in which he defended the leash and pyramid stacking episodes as legitimate inmate control techniques.

Graner and England are no longer a couple. He has since married former Abu Ghraib guard Megan Ambuhl who also was embroiled and convicted in the prisoner abuse scandal. She was not sentenced to jail.

The military jury will decide Lynndie England's fate next week.
