"Prosecutors told the judge during Monday’s hearing that they would play a recording they had obtained in which Robert Bales and his girlfriend laugh at the charges. The pair also allegedly discuss a possible book deal for Bales’ girlfriend.
"It certainly goes to evidence in aggravation, the attitude of lack of remorse," Lt. Col. Rob Stelle told the judge.
Bales’ lawyers have argued that the recording was taken out of context and as such is not viable evidence of the defendant’s lack of remorse, while Judge Col. Jeffery Nance said he will listen to the full recording before deciding whether it can be used in sentencing."
