Ben Roberts-Smith acted with “a certain recklessness or perhaps even brazenness” when he killed a man with a prosthetic leg in Afghanistan in full view of other soldiers by shooting him with a machine gun, the full bench of the federal court has found.
“The problem for [Roberts-Smith] is that, unlike most homicides, there were three eyewitnesses to this murder,” the judges wrote.
