Except and they'll argue that Khadr was not a soldier, he was a illegal combatant so what he did was tantamount to murder.
the child soldier thing and everything else might be fairly irrelevant in a civil suit.
He was equivalent to a gang member hucking a hand grenade at a cop and his actions made him directly responsible for the death of Speer and the wounds to Morris.
If Khadr wanted to get ahead on this one, he'd ask to meet with Speer's widow and Morris and show that his court room "apology" was sincere and write them each a check.
It would be a public relations masterpiece, and show him as a rallying point for reformed radicals, maybe it would even help some of these misguided idiots who are radicalized here.
