In a recent court appeal, it was stated that there was 'no evidence' to suggest that the Afghan men allegedly killed by Ben Roberts-Smith were armed. Further adding to the gravity of the case, a judge remarked it was 'hard to understand' the death of an Afghan man other than by unlawful execution. Witnesses in court supported allegations that Roberts-Smith had executed a prisoner with a prosthetic leg, with claims he dragged the prisoner outside an Afghan compound before machine-gunning him.
