Lt. William L. Calley, Jr. escorted to the Fort
Lt. William L. Calley, Jr. escorted to the Fort Benning stockade on March 31, 1971. He had just heard the jury pronounce a life sentence term. The next day President Nixon ordered that he be transferred to house arrest at Fort Benning during his appeals. His sentence was reduced to twenty years, then to ten. After three years, Nixon issued a limited pardon, upholding his conviction and dismissal from the Army, but his prison sentence and parole were reduced to time served. - (CSU_2015_5_166)
