Fort Bragg, N.C. ? Prosecutors ended a military court hearing Tuesday for a soldier shown in infamous photos of naked Iraqi prisoners by requesting an additional charge of “maltreatment and cruelty” against Pfc. Lynndie England.

The hearing to determine whether England should face a full court-martial adjourned without testimony from any of the high-level witnesses sought by the defense, including Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Investigating officer Col. Denise Arn said she would recommend within a week whether England should face a court-martial.

During closing arguments, Capt. Crystal Jennings, a military prosecutor, read from the 21-year-old Army reservist’s own statements that she stepped on prisoners’ toes and posed for and took photos of naked detainees piled in human pyramids and being forced to simulate homosexual acts.

“She was having fun,” Jennings said. “There was no indication that she was there for any military purpose.”

Military officials have recommended charging her with 13 counts of abusing detainees and six counts stemming from possession of sexually explicit photos not involving detainees. If convicted, she could get up to 38 years in prison.

Jennings also told Arn she should recommend an additional charge of maltreatment and cruelty against England. The charge serves as a catch-all to encompass all the individual acts England is accused of and would carry an additional penalty of up to one year in prison and a dishonorable discharge.
