Azaria prosecutor says ‘justice was done’

Chief prosecutor Lt. Col. Nadav Weisman says in a statement after the sentencing, “We know this was a hard day for the accused, but justice needed to be done and justice was done.

“This sends a message to commanders,” he adds, apparently asserting that field officers will now feel greater pressure to uphold the army’s values and the rule of law.
