Hasan, who sat motionless as the jury president read the verdict, has said he acted to protect Islamic insurgents abroad from American aggression, never denied being the gunman. In opening statements, he acknowledged to the jury that he pulled the trigger in a crowded waiting room where troops were getting final medical checkups before deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hasan had one final chance Wednesday to give a closing argument before his case went to the jury, but he declined -- continuing an absent defense that he has used since his trial began three weeks ago.

The Army psychiatrist's behavior has only stoked suspicion that his ultimate goal is martyrdom, in the form of a death sentence that would allow him to fulfill what prosecutors have described as a "jihad duty" under his Islamic faith.

I was thinking he should be eaten alive by a pack of feral hogs, but I like your idea too.

Just what was the total money spent on this trial. Those who knew more about this terrorist and let it slide or covered up activity need to be exposed and held accountable.

50 years since anyone was put to death from a death penalty case in the military. He should just be put in general population and let the justice system work its magic

Good to see the jury taking such a strong stand against “workplace violence”. /sarcasm
