context_page_description: Clint Allen Lorance is a former United States Army officer. While serving as a first lieutenant in the War in Afghanistan with the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division in 2012, Lorance was charged with two counts of second-degree murder after he ordered his soldiers to open fire on three Afghan men who were on a motorcycle. Lorance was found guilty by a court-martial in 2013 and sentenced to 19 years in prison after the sentence was reviewed by his commanding general.
  He was confined in the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas for six years. He was pardoned by President Trump on November 15, 2019. Previously, Fox News personalities, in particular Sean Hannity, had advocated forcefully for Lorance's pardon.
