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.

Except he’s paralyzed. There goes the hard labor.
Sew him into a hog carcass, and drop him into a chum slick off the Farallon Islands. Or hang him by his ankles about 2’ over a low, hot fire and roast his brain, Apache style.
Sorry, although I follow your logic ...I still say ... shoot the SOB. To many of my brothers in arms died without any retribution. Shoot the SOB.
you know what, I got no dog in this fight.... this worthless piece of human fecal matter is NOTHING to me. If I ran over him with my truck I'd be more worried about puncturing a tire on his wheelchair.
He reminds me of the sniper that was gut shot in "Full Metal Jacket". I say f'ck him, flip him off his chair and leave the b#tch to be eaten by rats.
you are the compassionate one and would put a bullet in him... I can see your side of the discussion and respect it. In fact I'd buy the ammo if you needed it.
Want to bet the worthless muzzie POS is being given prayer rugs, korans, halal food, a toilet that doesn’t face Mecca, etc etc. Kill the bastard already.
Vengeance is the Lord’s.
He murdered many of his fellow men premeditatedly and if allowed to live, the lack of capital punishment will encourage others to commit similar heinous crimes.
By remaining alive, he becomes a burden upon society with no apparent future for redemption greater than redeeming those burdened to care for him. He has shown no remorse, nor return to righteousness. Let him drown in his arrogance.
Afford him a visit by the Chaplain and an opportunity to come to have faith in Christ, then execute a just capital punishment.
Yup. We're all just fodder for PC, big money and power hungry marxists.
Or see that disgusting, smirking face. What a puke!!!!
He is paralyzed, what kind of hard labor can he do?
I agree with you 100%.
How fast would the army seek the death penalty on a soldier if he did this in say Gitmo?
The reason life doesn’t work is, sooner or later (usually sooner), the left makes heros out of murderers. The killer becomes the victim. Hasan would become the focus of endless editorials attacking America and our justice system. It will start with “We don’t defend what he did BUT....” and end up with the true victims being forgotten, the horrific nature of the crime passed into distant memory and Hasan and evil America the star of the show.
One of two ( American ) Generals to be awarded the six star cluster.
I’m not kidding. I think the govt is laughing its butt off at the tea party situation.
Does anyone belirvr that the gop taking over in november will mean anything? Seriously, they will give us lip service for a few months and then proceed to work w barry to get everything he wants.
We are screwed royally and the sooner people realize it the better.
Destroy his hands and dump him out of his chair in the roughest part of town....let him drag himself over pavement with his hands smashed and tearing the skin off his legs or butt, or be eaten by dogs and rats where he lays.
Why should we the taxpayer's support his existence for another day?
This is a open and shut case with DOZENS, if not 100s, of eyewitnesses to the murder of 14 of our citizens by a TRAITOR in a time of war.
KILL THE BASTARD! NOW!!!
.
They can’t place him on the sidewalk and leave him there. There is a pooper scooper law you know!
I’d take him out if they’d let me.
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
WHY THE HELL AREN’T THEY SEEKING THE DEATH PENALTY?
The only problem is that he can’t be killed numerous times!
