US marine convicted in Iraq murder
He faces life sentence for conspiring to kill a retired Iraqi policeman.
His lawyer said Thomas was only following orders and he blamed repeated bomb blasts for impairing his judgment.
Thomas faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, according to his lawyer, Victor Kelley.
He was also convicted of kidnapping but acquitted of premeditated murder, making a false statement and housebreaking.
Prosecutors said that during a night-time patrol on April 26, 2006, Thomas’s squad hatched a plan to kidnap and kill a suspected insurgent from his house in the town in al-Anbar province.
When they could not find him, they kidnapped Awad who lived nearby, instead.
Others accused in the case have testified that several squad members took Awad to a ditch and shot him to death.
