On September 26, 2005, England was convicted of one count of conspiracy, four counts of maltreating detainees and one count of committing an indecent act. She was acquitted on a second conspiracy count. England was sentenced to three years for her crimes and given a dishonorable discharge. The next day, when she was sentenced, she apologized for appearing in the pictures, though not for the maltreatment and assault committed on the prisoners.

In her interview with the Daily, Lynndie expressed no remorse for her actions. Their (Iraqis) lives are better. They got the better end of the deal, she said. They werent innocent. Theyre trying to kill us, and you want me to apologize to them? Its like saying sorry to the enemy.
