Sergeant First Class Trey Corrales

Hawaii-Based Soldiers Charged With Murder

Corrales, Shore Allegedly Killed Iraqi Civilian

KITV first reported about premeditated murder charges against two Hawaii-based soldiers.

Now, the Army has released details of the charges.

Army records charged Sgt. 1st Class Trey Corrales with murdering an Iraqi detainee, after he allegedly shot him numerous times.

The charge sheet also alleged that after Corrales shot the Iraqi, he ordered his subordinate, Spc. Christopher Shore, to keep shooting the detainee.

Shore and Corrales are both stationed in Iraq with Hawaii's 25th Infantry Division.

Corrales wife, Lily, lives in Oahu at the Aliamanu Military Reservation and said Corrales was doing what he was told to do..

"I would see these, I would say, as unjust charges. I believe my husband was doing his job," Lily Corrales said.

Lily Corrales has hired a high-profile civilian attorney, military law specialist Frank Spinner, to defend her husband.

Corrales has set up a Web site for her husband through which donations can be made to his legal fund.

Spinner is a graduate of Waipahu High School.

He told KITV Saturday that the Iraqi Corrales is accused of shooting was not a civilian, but a combatant.
