Iraqis outraged at US soldier's life sentence - 24 May 09

A former US soldier who raped and killed a teenage girl and murdered her parents and sister in Iraq in 2006 has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. Green set the young girl's body on fire to destroy the evidence. It took the jury hours to decide against giving Steven Green the death penalty but as Al Jazeera's Paul Werdel reports, many Iraqis do not think the sentence adequate.
