| FORT STEWART, Ga. (AP) A military jury convicted a U.S. soldier Friday of desertion for leaving his combat unit in Iraq in protest of the war. Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia of the Florida National Guard was found guilty by a jury of four officers and four enlisted soldiers. He faces up to a year in jail and a bad conduct discharge and was to be sentenced Friday afternoon. Mejia said he disobeyed orders to return to his unit because his war experiences prompted him to seek status as a conscientious objector.
