If Hasan Akbar received the DP why the hell didn't this idiot also receive the same sentence. It was premeditated my goodness the system is really F*CKed up if a guy like this MIGHT still receive a sentence that includes the possibility of parole? He will not serve a day of hard TIME ever!!
If some have not seen the thread on the history and photo's of the United States Military Barracks you can see them at Photo's: Historic United States Disciplinary Barracks (Ft. Leavenworth KS)Before and After.

You seem really upset about this. I agree that the death penalty would probably be preferable. But the death penalty is hard to get and hard to administer, even in a case that deserves it -- his sentence of life without parole in a military jail is still pretty harsh.

Thanks for the ping FMC. I agree with you, if Akbar, arguably a nut case gets the DP, what on earth possessed them to give him life?

I don't have near enough details, but this seems to be a telling phrase:
"He left a place of safety to go to a mutual fight," she said.
I'm just guessing, but the mutual fight aspect may be the difference between the Death Penalty and prison.
