Should Lt. Clint Lorance be pardoned, released from Leavenworth and the charges dropped for following a lawful order?

Also, here is his own lawyer admitting that he hid evidence.
("After the shooting, Lorance tried to hide evidence that the two dead Afghans were carrying proper identity, something the Taliban rarely do. "He told his soldiers to forget they saw the IDs. That was wrong," said Womack.")

Note: All my sources are dated from the trial, as they are direct sources and not second hand, or worse, from the attorney and family representing a criminal. I myself was there personally, testified, and was quoted by the Army Times and New York Times. No other media organizations have reached out for our side. Fox News is presenting a false narrative and should be embarrassed for their lack of integrity and research, these articles can easily be found by searching chronologically.

From the article:
His own soldiers, however, paint a much different picture: They claim their platoon leader was ignorant, overzealous and out of control. That he hated the Afghan people and that he had spent recent days tormenting the locals and issuing death threats.
Lorance had a setback on Dec. 31, when the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division reduced Lorance's his sentence — but just by one year — and upheld the guilty verdict, effectively sending the case to the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals.
"Maj. Gen. Richard Clarke carefully reviewed the facts of US v. Lorance, to include the clemency requests submitted in August, October, November and December 2014," said Maj. Crystal Boring, a spokeswoman for the XVIII Airborne Corps, in a statement. "After an in-depth study of the case, he upheld the guilty verdict from the court martial panel and directed one year off the original sentence of 20 years confinement due to post-trial delay."

So his own troops thought he was an ignorant asshole out for blood; a court marital panel considered all the evidence and found him guilty of murder; and the commander of the 82d abn division reviewed all the evidence and agreed. So why exactly would anyone be on the side of letting this murderer go, much less calling him a hero? The fact is that some people commit crimes in wartime; we lose all our values if we take the position that any American who kills any civilian is automatically cleared because war.

I would have to defer to the Courts Martial panel. We are a nation of laws; they saw the evidence and made their decision. The disposition of other cases has no bearing on this case - if the young Soldier was wrong, he was wrong.
