(Recasts with family's reaction)
MAHMUDIYA, Iraq, May 22 (Reuters) - Relatives of a 14-year-old girl who was raped and killed along with her family by U.S. soldiers expressed outrage on Friday that the ringleader received a life sentence in a U.S. court instead of execution.
Former U.S. soldier Steven Green, 24, will be sentenced to life in prison after a jury on Thursday failed to agree on whether he deserved death, the penalty sought by prosecutors.
