There's about a 0% chance Khadr even threw the grenade in the first place.

So far, this is all the prosecution's own evidence, and it's a mess before the defence calls a single witness. Without Khadr's confession, obtained essentially by force, there is no compelling evidence that he threw any grenade at all. No one saw him do it, and from all appearances he'd been under that rubble the entire time. From what’s publicly available at this point, the evidence pointing to guilt is weak and speculative. Taken as a whole, it doesn't really make sense. Multiple statements contradict each other and run all over the map.

The best eye witness accounts have the other guy throwing the grenade. You'd have to be pretty dense to imagine Khadr bounced up from getting blown to smithereens, launched a grenade and then covered himself up with rubble, the whole while maintaining a clear enough memory of the event to create a believable confession.
