England's retrial starts
The most famous face from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal is back on trial.

Lynndie England faces seven counts of prisoner abuse and conspiracy.

England is the Army private who appeared in the infamous prison photos that led to international outcry. This is the second time the 22-year-old has been brought up on these charges.

Last summer, she pleaded guilty and the judge denied her plea bargain. This time, England's lawyer said she plans to plead not guilty.

If convicted, she could spend 11 years in a military prison.
