This from The News Tribune: Spc. Michael Wagnon's former roommate testified this morning that a bone the soldier kept during their recent deployment to Afghanistan came from a camel that stepped on a roadside bomb intended for their Stryker platoon.
Wagnon, 30, is accused of murdering an Afghan civilian and keeping a piece of human skull from another shooting.
The charge pertaining to the bone is among the most troubling in an Army investigation that has netted 11 other soldiers from Wagnon's platoon in the 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division.
Sgt. Eric Skinner's testimony at Joint Base Lewis-McChord contradicted statements three other soldiers gave to Army investigators that indicated the bone came from an Afghan man shot by members of Wagnon's platoon in January.
