Interesting that the LAST soldier to get a death sentence was a Muslim who killed officers with hand grenades. That would be Hasan K. Akbar, convicted in 2005.
Nidal Hasan joins Akbar and four others:
- Ronald A. Gray, convicted in April 1988 of several murders and rapes while stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C.
- Dwight J. Loving, convicted in April 1989 of killing two cab drivers while stationed at Fort Hood.
- Andrew Witt, convicted in October 2005 of killing a fellow airman and his wife at their home at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. An appeals court ordered his case reopened earlier this month.
- Timothy Hennis, convicted in April 2010 of killing a North Carolina mother and her two children a quarter-century earlier.

Military justice grinds along as slowly as civilian justice. The last military execution was in 1961, when they strung up Pvt. John A. Bennett for raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl.
