Trial begins Tuesday morning for Lynndie England, accused of abusing inmates at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison:

Three months after England's attempt at a plea agreement fell apart, her lead defense lawyer, Capt. Jonathan Crisp, said "there's not going to be a deal."

Crisp said he plans to base much of his defense on England's history of mental health problems that date back to her childhood. He said he also will focus on the influence exerted over England by Pvt. Charles Graner, the reputed abuse ringleader. Graner, who England has said fathered her young son while they were deployed, is serving a 10-year sentence after being convicted at trial in January.

As TChris reported here, her statements have been suppressed and can't be used as evidence against her. Other case highlights worth revisiting include: Judge Halts Guilty Plea and Deprived of Oxygen at Birth. All of TalkLeft's coverage of the case is accessible here.
