SAN DIEGO—A Marine who worked jointly in Iraq with a decorated Navy SEAL accused of murder testified on June 27 that the platoon chief did not stab a wounded teenage ISIS prisoner as alleged by other platoon members.

Marine Staff Sgt. Giorgio Kirylo said he watched as Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher tried to save the 17-year-old captive and never saw him use his hunting knife on him.
