I'm sure his being sorry will matter to the Court Martial.

I lot of people become sorry once convicted and their fate is about to be sealed.

....and I had other problems," Sgt. Hasan Akbar told the 15-person military jury.

Like being a Muslim.

"I apologize for my actions. ... When I did that, I felt my life was in jeopardy, and I had other problems,"

Does that mean since his life is really in jeopardy now he's justified in grenading the Courts Martial?

The defense attorney suggests life imprisonment without parole, so this killer can get treatment? Of what use is treatment if the killer can't ever return to society?

As for the apology, this guy wasted a bunch of air making it.

I was always taught to apologize when I threw grenades at people. It does seem like common courtesy.

Akbar wrote in his diary in 1997, "My life will not be complete unless America is destroyed."

You've gotta be kidding me. C'mon death sentence.

Because this is America ...

We give the worthless SOB a fair trial first.

Then we hang him.

Mulligan described Akbar as a nearly lifelong religious ideologue. "He is a hate-filled, ideologically driven murderer," the prosecutor said, adding that Akbar wrote in his diary in 1997, "My life will not be complete unless America is destroyed."

That could describe a lot of followers of Mad Mo.
