Lawyer: Accused Shooter Has No Memory of Afghan Massacre 
---------------------------------------------------------



The attorney for the U.S. soldier accused in the massacre of 16 Afghan
civilians spoke out again on Tuesday after meeting with his client at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. John Henry Browne said Staff Sgt. Robert Bales
does not remember the shootings, and added that he thinks there's "very
little" evidence against his client.

John Henry Browne: "He has some memories of what occurred that evening
before the supposed incident, and he has some memories of what happened
after the alleged incident, but he really doesn't have memory of what
happened between ... There's no forensic evidence. There's no medical
examiners evidence. There's no evidence about how many alleged victims
or where those remains are. So it's fascinating from a defense lawyer's
perspective. Prove it."

Reporter: "There's no evidence of a crime?"

John Henry Browne: "I don't know. I really don't know. Certainly from
what I've read, there's very little."
