An 82nd Airborne Division soldier was totally acquitted Friday evening during a court-martial for a series of charges stemming from a deadly gunfight in Syria in 2020.
"Sergeant First Class Nicoson, and his family, continue to be humbled and thankful to those that have supported him and stood by his side," he continued, after the military hearing at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Nicoson was initially charged with two counts of failure to obey an order, two counts of reckless endangerment, one count of communicating threats, and three counts of obstructing justice for his role in a deadly firefight that took place Aug. 17, 2020, near the northeastern Syrian town of Qamishli.
