“I asked what was going on, what he could tell me, and he told me I shot the kid,” according to the KBI transcript. “I probably was distraught and I kept on saying that I’m screwed,” Siebenaler said.
You’re screwed? She’s dead.

How can a person, who has made a mistake of this gravity while doing his job ,keep doing the same work and even seek career advancement ...
failing upwards is a theme for red states.
I love how he sued to keep his name out of the press. He kills a little girl, and thinks he's the victim.
At 9:25 p.m., he fired one round through the camper window. The crime scene analysis said it hit exactly where he aimed.
He thought he shot Eli Crawford in the chest.
Instead, he shot 2-year-old Clesslynn in the head.
The Cherokee County attorney’s report that exonerated Siebenaler only said, “evidence suggests Clesslynn was standing on the couch at the time of Sniper 1’s shot.”
But the former federal sniper is clear that firing at a silhouette is “careless.”
“I would never take a shot blindly at a silhouette without being able to identify what that silhouette is. How do you know that the silhouette doesn’t have a little kid in front of him?”
Right, so reckless shot in a known situation.
His name is Keaton Siebenaler
