[0:54] Good evening. An American soldier
[0:57] accused of a horrific war crime watched
[0:59] in a courtroom as children describe the
[1:02] murders of their families. There were
[1:04] two days of testimony in the case of
[1:06] Staff Sergeant Robert Bales. Bales is
[1:09] charged with 16 counts of premeditated
[1:12] murder and six counts of attempted
[1:14] murder. Prosecutors say that for reasons
[1:17] unknown, Bales walked off his post in
[1:19] Afghanistan in the middle of the night,
[1:22] then shot and stabbed civilians in two
[1:24] villages. The hearing at a military post
[1:27] in Washington State was called to decide
[1:29] whether there is enough evidence to
[1:31] court Marshall Bales. John Blackstone
[1:34] has been covering in the courtroom.
[1:37] Staff Sergeant Bales watched the video
[1:39] feed from Afghanistan showing no
[1:41] reaction as 10 Afghans told of the night
[1:44] their two villages were awakened by
[1:45] gunshots.
