Lisa Girman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lisa Girman is a Pennsylvania State Trooper and former reservist in the United States Army.
Girman served 17 years in the reserves, and rose to the rank of Master Sergeant.
Girman was given a dishonorable discharge while serving as a prison guard at Camp Bucca in Iraq. Girman and three other guards are alleged to have beaten Iraqi prisoners in retaliation for the alleged mistreatment of Jessica Lynch.
Girman maintains she is innocent. Girman's case was never brought to a court martial, but instead to a non-judicial punishment hearing, where the convening officer found her guilty of maltreatment of prisoners, and gave her a dishonorable discharge. Later, the charges were reviewed by the Army Discharge Review Board, and her dishonorable discharge was reversed.
