We don't know. Omar stands accused of several crimes, the most serious of which is the murder of Sgt. F.C. Christopher Speer by throwing a grenade. There are, however, good reasons to doubt the prosecution's version of events. To start, no one actually saw Omar throw the grenade. In February 2008, written eyewitness testimony revealed that not only was there another combatant alive when Speer was killed, but also said that this person was the one who threw the grenade. Worse, this testimony was later altered by the US military in what has been called a blatant attempt to make the case against Omar stronger.
