In the next phase of the trial, which will begin Monday, jurors must all agree to give Hasan the death penalty before he can be sent to the military's death row, which has just five other prisoners. If they do not agree, the 42-year-old could spend the rest of his life in prison.
I'll put a nickel on complete agreement.
Did anything happen during the trial to make the Obama administration move away from its classification of the killings as "workplace violence"? Those who were shot by Hasan were victimized twice--once by the jihadist and once by Obama.
Arrows? I guess maybe if he didn’t die within an hour or so of the first arrow another might be necessary... and another... and another...
The Nidal Hassan and Bradley Manning cases have a similarity in that they both involve someone who should not have been in the Army in the first place and certainly should have been discharged after numerous warning signs.
“If they give him the Death Penalty, it remains to be seen which usual suspect is going to fight for it to be overturned...
Name your favorite group ...”
For openers, there is automatic appeal, under the UCMJ or uniform code of military justice, if you want to call rule of law, a “usual suspect.”
