Verdict: Maj. Nidal Hasan sentenced to death for Fort Hood shooting rampage
WFAA TV (Dallas) ^ | 8/28/13 | JASON WHITELY

Posted on 08/28/2013 12:02:25 PM PDT by ken in texas

FORT HOOD – U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan will be executed for the 2009 shooting rampage on post that left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded.

The jury panel of 13 U.S. Army officers delivered the verdict on post moments before 2 p.m. Wednesday. They deliberated for less than three hours.

Last Friday, the same panel unanimously found Hasan guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

This sentencing verdict ends the court martial after 17 days. In it, Hasan, who defended himself, never revealed a motive, did not present a defense and refused to cross-examine any of his victims.

Hasan will immediately lose his rank of major and he will stop getting paid in two weeks.

The Army will soon transfer him to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. to begin serving his sentence.

But an execution is not imminent. Hasan automatically gets an appeal and it has been more than 50 years since the military executed anyone.

More to come.

On military death row, execution is anything but guaranteed

NBCNews.com ‎- 4 hours ago

And finally, the president of the United States, the final authority, must approve the military execution. If a military jury sentences Hasan to death, ...

There is a guy on the military death row that was convicted in 1988. Hassan is at least a decade or two away from execution so Obama won't have anything to do with it.

That will depend on whether he chooses to be president-for-life or go on a retirement vacation. A fellow Muslim will remain in charge however...

Should I live so long as to see this POS executed. I’m betting Obama will commute his death sentence if not pardon the bastard.

I guess we should be thankful that he didn’t reproduce. If Al Qaida gets it, you can bet it will be for arms to kill more infidels.

No, Mr. Liberal Reporter, that's just not true. You just don't like the motive that he declared, so you pretend he never said it. But here's a clue: it has something to do with "Allah Akbar."

Actually, they should have given him life in solitary with no contact with another human being or the outside world.

Executing him is exactly what he wants us to do, to be a martyr for Islam in order to incite more attacks on America.

When a terrorist does something like this in order to be martyred by our criminal justice system, we should always thwart his stated goal and intentions.

This is one of those cases where hanging is too good for him.

I understand your points, however the families of the victims are pleased with verdict and the no-nonsense military panel rendered the proper verdict, IMHO.

If this terrorist, mass murderer is not the candidate for death, then I don’t know who is.

IMHO, the sooner he learns there’s not 72 virgins awaiting him, the better.
