The wife of a Navy SEAL on trial for allegedly murdering an ISIS prisoner has slammed the prosecutors trying to put him behind bars as 'vile' and 'corrupt'.
Edward Gallagher remains on trial in San Diego, California, on a host of war crimes including murder and attempted murder.
Prosecutors say he killed a young ISIS fighter in Mosul in 2017 by stabbing him twice in the neck and that he revelled in the young boy's death.
Gallagher insists he did not kill or intend to kill the fighter and says he opened his neck with a knife to allow him to breathe through a tube because he had a collapsed lung.
Despite a different man confessing to then covering the tube with his thumb to kill the boy in a gesture of mercy so that he would not be tortured to death by Iraqi forces, prosecutors are still pursuing their case against Gallagher.
His wife Andrea spoke to ABC news this week in an interview that will air on Monday in which she slammed their efforts and said the case was weak.

'I feel great after a week of listening to the government's witnesses. I feel more confident than ever that my husband will finally get his day in court and get the ability to prove his innocence.
'The witnesses' inconsistencies to me were as powerful as Corey Scott taking responsibility. I felt like that every single witness they brought forward was pretty inconsistent,' she said.
She added that her husband remains confident he will be acquitted.
'He's confident. My husband has always maintained his innocence from the beginning; he has been confident.
'He's wanted to go to trial. We have waited so long for this opportunity.'
Earlier, his attorney said he was being set up by a group of Millenials who did not like his 'old school' leadership style.
