Ben Roberts-Smith Granted Bail
Ben Roberts-Smith walked free from prison on Friday following a sensational bail hearing in Sydney.
The former SAS corporal faces multiple counts of war crimes stemming from a series of incidents between 2006 and 2012.
Court documents tendered by prosecutors allege that Roberts-Smith was complicit in the execution of several Afghan prisoners.
While he adamantly maintains his innocence, the case has deeply divided the Australian public and raised serious questions about military conduct and accountability.
