CAMP PENDLETON, Calif., Aug 2 (Reuters) - A U.S. Marine squad leader who told his men "we just got away with murder" after they kidnapped and killed an Iraqi grandfather in Iraq last year was found guilty on Thursday of murder and other charges.

A military jury in a Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base courtroom, north of San Diego, found that Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III committed murder and larceny, made false official statements and participated in conspiracy in the crime.
