The fact that they are trying him on “Work Place Violence” pretty much means his punishment will be less than if they tried him on a domestic terrorist charge.
He is being tried on multiple charges of murder and aggravated assault. The "workplace violence" nonsense is what President Obama called it.
Under the charges and specifications, the death penalty can and should be imposed. I shall be surprised if it is not. Whether it will withstand review by the convening authority and then by the courts is a different question. It should, but may not.
I can’t believe somebody hasn’t laced this asshole’s catheter with something lethal.
Perhaps I have been retired from the military too long but in my day Hasan would have been counseled by his CO that he was in violation of regulation grooming standards. If he didn’t conform then there would ensue a escalating set of punishments including forfeiture of pay, Article 15 punishments, Court Marshall, and dismissal from the Army.
The only reason I can think of this not happening is that this course of action was taken away from the Court Marshall convening authority, the commanding general at Ft Hood. Guesses?
We have the means, but not the will. And the SCM (state controlled media) blames the "gun culture," or "machismo." Add public school education for the masses, our national debt, and we're done, toast.

I like the idea of him keeping his beard. I think it is important that rather than him being viewed as a member of the U.S. Military who snapped and was a “victim of our gun culture”, the beard will help demonstrate that he committed his murders in the name of the “religion of peace and tolerance”.
Why can’t Hasan’s refusal to obey a military order just be added to the charges against him?
"Justice delayed is justice denied." The 'justice' system has been infested with parasites who are more interested in self-enrichment and self-aggrandizement than with helping their society deal judiciously with its problems. Had justice prevailed, Hasan would have lasted about as long as McVeigh.
The rest of the world has to be laughing at the absurd administration of our criminal justice system. I know I am.
Why is this guy still breathing air?
Likewise for the Wikileaks guy.
Shave him with a culturally acceptable scimitar.
14, not 13 killed.
