Pre-Trial Hearing Underway for Accused Soldier Robert Bates

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- A pre-trial hearing continues for an Army Sergeant accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians during a shooting rampage last March.

The hearing will determine whether Staff Sergeant Robert Bates faces a military court martial.  

A late night session was held Friday night so witnesses in Afghanistan could testify by a live video feed.

Among them were an Afghan National Guard and a man who was wounded in the attack. 

Bales faces 16 counts of premeditated murder and six counts of attempted murder.
