Paducah, KY – Steven Dale Green's aunt testified in court today in hopes of swaying the jury away from recommending the death penalty. Patricia Ruth said the former Fort Campbell soldier had little parental supervision, particularly once his parents divorced when he was young. Green faces a possible death sentence for the 2006 rape and murder of an Iraqi teenager and the shooting of her family. Ruth says her nephew had a chaotic childhood. Green's defense attorneys are expected to conclude their case today or tomorrow. Closing arguments and jury deliberations are scheduled to begin Wednesday. A nine-woman, three-man panel will decide if Green should be sentenced to death or imprisoned for life.
