But Hasan's attorney accuses Army of stonewalling
BELTON, Texas (KXAN) - The U.S. Army said it is not actively seeking the death penalty against the man accused of the Fort Hood shooting in November.
Yet, Maj. Nidal Hasan's attorney insists the Army is making every effort to have Hasan executed by lethal injection.
Hasan has been at the Bell County Jail under 24-hour surveillance since April 9, and his attorney is pushing to have him moved to Fort Hood Medical Center because he said the jail isn’t equipped to deal with his medical needs.
Hasan is paralyzed from being shot during the Nov. 5 shooting, which killed 13 people on post.
Still, attorney John Galligan said his biggest concern is that the Army is fighting to conceal records. He said there is no way Hasan can get a fair trial because they are not considering him innocent until proven guilty.
"I think you would have to be blind and an idiot to not know and see what's going on at Fort Hood,” Galligan said.
Galligan said the Army has already taken several steps to ensure Hasan will face the death penalty, despite a statement just released that said: "Fort Hood officials want to stress that there has been no decision to pursue the death penalty in the case against Major Nidal Hasan."
Hasan faces 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder after the November shooting rampage.
"It's pretty much a sure-fire thing this will be tried as a death penalty case,” Galligan said.

He is paralyzed, what is he going to do in “hard labor” use a mental spoon to dig out rocks from the prison yard? Kill the bastard.
He’d make a good ironing board in the Laundry Room.
Report: Military to seek death penalty against Hasan
Who are you going to believe - "Stars & Stripes", or some dipsh!t local NBC reporter named Carla Castaño
Where is Black Jack Pershing when you need him?
Ok, that’s it; the Army is now officially The Ball-less Wonder... and I put 9 years in. [/disgust]
He would do better as fertilizer.
The silver lining is, we no longer have to worry about energy because every patriotic Army general prior to this current batch of politically correct wimps is spinning in their grave like a dynamo.
This PC-Military is the pits.
Because our nation is lost. Try to do the best you can for your family but understand that short of another violent revolution or civil war we are finished.
Couldn’t agree with you more. Sad, but true.
If the man is paralysed we have to pay someone to bathe him, feed him, and wipe his sorry azz.
He needs to be dragged by the neck to his place of execution where he gets a long drop on a short rope.
Knowing Obama he will probably be promoted to Full Colonel.
First, the "shooting" didn't kill them. Hasan did.
Second, there were 14 people killed. One of the soldiers was expecting.
No. It's not trial counsel who seeks the DP, per se. It is the convening authority, who then instructs the TC to charge the requisite aggravating factors. Without such instruction from the convening authority, it is not permissible to issue a sentence of death as it's not a capital case.
The verdict must be unanimous in a DP case, and it's actually the President himself who approves death. After such approval is giving, the defendant has one last appellate option available, and that is to the SC. As an example, while the last person executed happened on Kennedy's watch, that man's execution was approved not by Kennedy, but by Eisenhower. Of course, it was within Kennedy's purview to commute or pardon. He elected to do neither. Bush was the next president to sign a death order, and that execution is pending final appeal to the SC.
Incidentally, the TC in Hassan's case, just notified his attorney that they were alleging those aggravating factors.
And why not!?
Please, then, release him. I think you should let him go free — right outside the main gate of Fort Hood. Really.
Nidal as a good muslim should DESIRE DEATH
Ping.
shoot the SOB!
Suggest organ donation followed by burial at sea from 30,000 with attorney steering chair.
LOL! Though I said that. Yes, shoot the SOB in his hospital bed. Can you imagine the conflict going on in the minds of all the Nurses and Doctors taking care of the POS.
I'm a death penalty advocate. In fact I'd volunteer to do the injection to most of these miscreants. But thinking of him sitting in a crappy chair, getting stasis ulcers, urinary tract infections, bowel obstructions, and having FEMALE nurses handle him like a sack of manure as they "treat" him....
well, I don't know. I think a nice little ride in prison as he's put away and forgotten too rot like a beached fish is justice. He will NOT BE GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE of giving his life to Allah (piss be unto him), he won't be a martyr, just a pathetic, paralyzed lump of flesh that will be looked upon with disgust, pity and hatred for the rest of his pathetic life.
Or you could just dump him over in a room full of hungry dogs and come back in a week. Either way, I would rather never hear this pathetic losers name ever again.
The Army and most of the military bases are just idiotic with the "PC" no weapon policy. He might have killed 2-3 but if everyone had a weapon, he would have died at the scene and everyone knows it, including the commanding officers and civilian "authorities" in the chain of command.
This POS killed 13 people and the Army ISN’T seeking the death penalty. WTF is wrong with these people???
