Sounds like a good reason to pitch them to me.
But I though courts martial didn’t have a jury, just a panel of officers?

No, not 13 but 14 dead.
Two officers who don’t have the stomach for the death penalty or are they card carrying muslim brotherhood members?

Was he guilty of “Racial Hostility”?
Just askin’, since the In-”Justice” Department is thinking of charging Zimmerman with this make-believe crime.

How can you be in the military and be opposed to the death penalty? Outside of conscientious objectors, if you’re willing to kill anonymous foreigners why not domestic murderers?

Give him life and a day of waterboarding. Throw in an electrical shock every now and then. See how he likes Allah after that.

Killing Nidal Hasan (or even just giving him a dishonorable discharge) would upset the diversity of the US military and according to top brass THAT would be a bigger tragedy than the willful murder of over a dozen unarmed Americans.

IIRC in a civilian trial the jury must unanimously recommend the DP before it can be imposed.I wonder if the same is true of a court martial panel.

Never having run afoul of the UCMJ during my stellar (ahem) Army career I know little about courts-martial but is it true that in a court martial all members of the panel must outrank the defendant?

Hasan came in with Obama — including at the Inauguration.
NOT ONE “reporter” in the Tyrant-licking media dares
mention it.
