Military court upholds death sentence in 2003 ‘fragging’ case

The nation’s highest military court has affirmed the conviction and death sentence for a University of California, Davis, graduate who admitted killing two fellow U.S. soldiers at the start of the Iraq War.

In a closely split decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces rejected claims by Los Angeles native Hasan K. Akbar that his original defense team was ineffective. Akbar argued at trial that he was mentally ill when he killed two and wounded 14 in the March 2003 attack in Kuwait.

Another case of workplace violence.

Yagottabekiddingme!

He’s just MENTALLY MOSLEM. (And a GOOD muzzie as well.)

[eartick]

12 years AND still not justice.

Hang the bastard already

[Chode]

[Mouton]

Bring on the pig blood capped bullets for the firing squad. I think today is Mosque day, a perfect day to do it.

[WayneS]

Excellent.

Now, carry out the sentence.

McVeigh was executed Four years following his terrorist attack conviction.
I thought the Feds acted faster than this.

[DrDude]

Execute this POS already. Why this has been hidden for 12 years is puzzling.

[Gamecock]

Not to worry. Obaamy will pardon Akbar and give him a good job in the WH.

McVeigh was executed Four years following his terrorist attack conviction.

McVeigh was white.

He’s just MENTALLY MOSLEM.

What does it tell you that this was offered in his defense as an obstacle to his growing up sane and not committing murder:

"Akbar was from a young age 'indoctrinated in the Nation of Islam’s militant teachings,' defense attorneys recounted in a brief."

Keep in mind that McVeigh waived all his appeals and sped up his own execution. If he had gone through the appeals process he would still be sitting on death row.

[Sasparilla]

A convert to the murderous “religion” courtesy of the nation of islam and Farrakhan.

A terrorist who hates Caucasians and the United States dating back twelve years and wanted to kill American soldiers ‘for Allah’ and for ‘jihad’

[MuttTheHoople]

Another product of the California education system.

[Arm_Bears]

A UC-Davis grad named Hasan K. Akbar enlists in the military—What could possibly go wrong?

[Vermont Lt]

I don’t think he appealed either.

[PghBaldy]

“Los Angeles native Hasan K. Akbar” ???

[PghBaldy]

The Clinton-Bush Regimes also kept thousands of documents from the defense...

[Safetgiver]

I thought the Feds acted faster than this......Only if they are covering up loose ends.

[DoodleDawg]

Hang the bastard already

Don't hold your breath. The longest resident on the Military death row has been there over 27 years.
