Former Abu Ghraib prisoners' lawsuit against military contractor CACI ended in a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury. The plaintiffs accused CACI interrogators of conspiring with soldiers to abuse detainees, while CACI denied complicity and claimed Army control. The plaintiffs may seek a retrial after 15 years of legal wrangling.
Trial is first time American jury has heard claims of mistreatment brought by survivors of notorious prison in Iraq.
Jury trial against military contractor CACI over ‘sadistic, blatant and wanton abuses’ comes 20 years after scandal broke.
Nearly 20 years after torture scandal broke, Iraqis continue fight for justice; 15-year quest for day in court one step closer to trial.
"Three Iraqi former detainees have accused US defence contractor of encouraging or directing their torture at the prison."
