Only one person, Lieutenant William Calley Jr., was found guilty for his role in the killing of 350 civilians at My Lai. He was sentenced to life in prison but was later released in 1974 after serving only three and a half years of house arrest. The military and political leaders responsible for the massacre were not held accountable and there was a government cover-up to prevent full knowledge of the atrocity from coming to light. American public opinion was divided on the issue, with some people believing the soldiers were simply following orders and others condemning the brutality of the massacre.
