Army Reservist Charles Graner is the US soldier directly responsible for the abuse of prisoners in the Abu Ghraib's jail in Baghdad.
He has been under judgment lately about the well-known tortures he perpetrated to the prisoners of this penitentiary.
The sentence, previously thought to be about seventeen years, has been lessened to 15, after five hours of deliberating from the jury.
Graner's behavior has been described by his prosecutors as sadistic and dangerous, as it was proven that he derived pleasure in watching prisoners suffer.
