Ft. Hood Murderer's Attorney: "I Don't Know Where They Come Up With Workplace Violence"
Townhall.com ^ | October 14, 2014 | Katie Pavlich

Ft. Hood murderer Nidal Hasan recently sent a six page letter to Pope Francis about waging Jihad, further clarifying Hasan's murder of 13 people and the shooting of 30 others in 2009 was Islamic terrorism, not work place violence as the politically correct Obama administration has said and argued.

Last night on The Kelly File Hassan's current attorney, John Galligan, said he doesn't understand where the classification of "workplace violence" comes from in this case.

"I don't know where they come up with the term 'work place violence.' I've been in the Army 30 years, I've been in the practice of law for almost 35 years, work place violence was not the crime for which he was charged, it is not a punishable offense under the UCMJ and it's certainly not an aggravating factor that would warrant the death penalty. Nidal Hasan was charged with mass murder," Galligan said, adding the government had the option to charge him with terrorism and didn't. Galligan also argued it is inconsistent for the Army to pursue the death penalty while attempting to cover the incident with a work place violence label.

Exclusive: Fort Hood shooter's attorney speaks out

Although Hasan has been sentenced to death, Galligan doesn't believe his sentence will be carried out.

One of the few times I agree with a lawyer. I don’t know where they came up with it either. I think it may have been Holder’s idea.

“...[0bama/Holder] had the option to charge him with terrorism and didn’t.”

And we all know why!

It would be fitting for the Sultan to pardon him.

"I don't know where they come up with the term 'work place violence.'

That's what radical Muslims call it when their radical Muslim brothers commit Jihad.

This filthbag lawyer (yes,redundant...I know) seems to be suggesting that there's inadequate basis for seeking the death penalty.Killing 13 people...at least some of whom were uniformed members of the United States Armed Forces...doesn't justify the DP I guess.

And lawyers...defense lawyers,at least...wonder why they're so despised by decent,intelligent,respectable Americans.

Decades from now, our children and grandchildren will still be dealing with Holder’s anti America and anti constitution bs.

Galligan is a renegade ex-JAG who has been getting his revenge on the Army by defending the worst of the worst among those charged under UCMJ.

Galligan was Hasan’s original attorney until the mass murderer muzzie dismissed him.

Unless Hassan has waived the attorney-client privilege, I don’t see how the attorney can disclose the content of communications between him and Hassan.

the first thing...if he is still considered a member of the military, at least until he is found guilty, then the beard has to go and he should have a military approved haircut.

I've never understood your attitude....the man's JOB is to defend whoever....I hate the crime, suspect the criminal, and respect both the defense and prosecution....I think the Constitution is more than a little bit important...even Dahmer was entitled to his day in court.

“murder of 13 people and the shooting of 30 others in 20”

When are they going to give this man a fair trial, then put him to death?

I don’t get it.

How long does it take to put together a defense and a prosecution?

Just do it, and get this over with! I am sick of hearing about this Islamic pig turd.
