Behenna Case Draws More Attention

Oklahoma City television station KOKH-Fox 25 recently profiled the case of Edmond Army Lt. Michael Behenna, whose murder conviction in the death of an Al Qaida operative in Iraq is being appealed based on the withholding of evidence favorable to Behenna by military prosecutors.

The KOKH report reiterates the comments of former Oklahoma City federal prosecutor Robert McCampbell, who first spoke about the case on Reid Mullins' morning show on radio station KTOK, and Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater, who spoke out on The McCarville Report Online. Both men believe the withholding of evidence by the prosecution is an ethical and legal violation and should result in a new trial, or dismissal of his conviction.

Behenna is the son of retired OSBI agent Scott Behenna and federal prosecutor Vicki Behenna.
