In all military death penalty cases, the entire record is scrutinized by appeals courts for the Army and the armed forces. If Hasan is sentenced to death and his case affirmed by appeals courts, he could ask the U.S. Supreme Court for a review or file motions in federal civilian courts. The president, as the military commander in chief, must sign off on a death sentence.
>>HOW OFTEN ARE DEATH SENTENCES HANDED DOWN IN MILITARY COURT?
Death sentences are extremely rare in the military court system, which hasn't executed an active-duty U.S. soldier since 1961. Military appeals courts have overturned 11 of the 16 death sentences handed down in the last three decades — and that doesn't include Senior Airman Andrew P. Witt, who is one of five men on military death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., but whose case was ordered reopened this month by an appeals court.
(Bottom line: it could well be decades before he is executed.)

Nadil wants the death sentence carried out. So did Timothy McVeigh. Nadil should be as fast tracked to his grave and Tim was permitted to be.
