The evidence will show Abu Khatallah -- the only Benghazi suspect currently in US custody -- is not guilty and that he "was just someone who could be blamed," said defense attorney Jeffrey Robinson. There was gunfire, explosions and "bloodcurdling screams" on the radio, according to Wickland, who told the jury, "I knew we were under attack." Unable to locate Stevens and Smith, Wickland told the jury that he said to himself "I'm going to search for them until I'm going to die." However, the defense argued that Abu Khatallah was not a radical terrorist but rather a "Libyan patriot" who fought to free the country from Gadhafi. While he was interrogated aboard a Navy ship during transport from Libya to the US, the defense said Abu Khatallah made certain statements and blamed bad translation for his answers.
