Genuinely shocked
I never thought this would happen. Neither, apparently, did they. But it did.
All four ex-Blackwater security guards have been found guilty - one of first-degree murder, the rest of of multiple counts of voluntary manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and gun charges - in the 2007 killings of over 30 Iraqis.
All of them. Going to prison today.

Puzzled to learn that there is such a thing as attempted manslaughter...
Apparently "murder" becomes "voluntary manslaughter" under certain circumstances (heat of passion) so "attempted murder" can be "attempted manslaughter". See https://www.justia.com/criminal/docs/calcrim/500/603.html
