Talk:2011 Helmand Province killing

Absence of controversy
This page doesn't seem to make any mention of the fact that the enemy combatant was mortally wounded. It completely ignores the entire debate around mercy killing, to the extent that people unaware of the incident wouldn't even realize this was one. 86.183.35.158 (talk) 08:51, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't give specifics of the terrorist's injuries. The motive for killing him wasn't euthanasia, but more specifics of the event should be stated in the article. Jim Michael (talk) 17:51, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Appeal and quashing of conviction
This page needs a bit more balance and detail of the subsequent campaign and successful appeal. I have added the following text and references:

This led to a considerable campaign[10] by the Armed Forces community to have his conviction overturned, spearheaded by Claire Blackman and the MP for South Dorset, Richard Drax[11]. During the campaign to free him, the Criminal Cases Review Commission concluded that Alexander Blackman's defence team, including an eminent QC, fell "way below the standard expected".[12] At the subsequent appeal hearing in 2017, the conviction was overturned and the hearing stated that "At the time of the killing the patrol remained under threat from other insurgents...Given his prior exemplary conduct, we have concluded that it was the combination of the stressors, the other matters to which we have referred and his adjustment disorder that substantially impaired his ability to form a rational judgment."[13]TopGun1066 (talk) 08:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
