A member of the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6 has pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal for his role in the death of Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar.
A member of the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6 has pleaded guilty on Thursday as part of a plea deal for his role in the death of Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar, a Green Beret, in Mali in June 2017.
In a U.S. Navy courtroom in Norfolk, Virginia on Thursday, Matthews pleaded guilty as part of a deal that reduced the charges he faced to hazing, assault consummated by battery, burglary and conspiracy to obstruct justice, in return for cooperation in the prosecution of the other three service members. A Navy spokesman said Matthews pleaded guilty to only some of the charges in the plea deal.
In November, Matthews was one of two members of SEAL Team 6 and two special operations Marines charged in Melgar's death. The cases against the other three service members were still pending. If convicted, they face the possibility of life in prison without parole.
