AI notes: On March 31, 1971, Lieutenant William Calley was convicted of murder for his role in the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War. Calley, an officer in the U.S. Army, was found guilty of ordering the killing of unarmed Vietnamese civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, in My Lai village on March 16, 1968. His trial was one of the most controversial of the Vietnam era, sparking nationwide debate about military conduct, responsibility, and war crimes.
Calley was sentenced to life imprisonment, though he ultimately served only a few years under house arrest after President Nixon intervened, reflecting the deep divisions in public opinion over the war and accountability for wartime actions. The March 31 date marks the historic moment of his conviction announcement in a U.S. military court.
