SEAL Team 6 member to accept plea deal in Green Beret's death.
A member of the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6 will plead guilty on Thursday as part of a plea deal for his role in the death of Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar, a Green Beret, in Mali in June 2017.
As part of a plea deal, Matthews will plead guilty in a courtroom at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia on Thursday to charges of hazing, assault consummated by battery, burglary and conspiracy to obstruct justice, his attorney said. In return for his cooperation in the case, prosecutors will drop the murder and involuntary manslaughter charges, Baxley said.
"Staff Sgt. Melgar's death was an unforeseen accident that has dramatically impacted the lives of everyone involved. SOC Matthews is eager to assist with the Navy's resolution of this case and then attempting to move on with his life," he added.
