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.

Apparently we'll be paying for this Islamic terrorist for a long time...sounds more like a life sentence than a death sentence.

I agree with the 12th of Never as this would cause the "Arab Street" to rise up in revolt ... oh, wait, ... hmmm, ...

On the other hand, much more likely, Obama could, on January 19th, 2017, commute this to life as his pean to the anti-death penalty crowd.

For me personally, I'd take the wheels off his wheelchair and slide his meals under the door 10 feet away.

I’m sure Obama is saddened by this news.

If Obama had a son, he would look like Hasan.

Are you listening all you wannabee Muslim terrorists? .... you mess with the USA and you'll be sorry. We'll only keep paying you for three years or so if you engage in mass murder ! I know ... I know ... it seems like cruel and unusual punishment, but we just don't put up with terrorists !

I can only pray that Nidal is executed in the same manner that India did for the Mumbai terrorists, i.e., new rope lubricated with pork grease.

So, Hassan’s gonna die of old age.
At least he's a paraplegic. Hopefully he will suffer the entire time.

According to the article his pay stops in two weeks.

Where did you get the figure of $250,000 a year?

So, what happens to all that loot that he accumulated pre-sentencing? Does he have any heirs?

Peel his skin off and let him bleed to death in the hot Texas sun.

I believe that the Comanche had this little pastime where the guest of honor is staked out on an ant hill and served up with honey. To my mind it meets with the local customs and honors tradition.

If we use a dirty needle a jug of store brand knock-off Drano, we can get the whole execution in under ten bucks.

Run over him with an Abrams.

No, just rename an artillery or tank range impact area as Nidal Hasan Impact area and put his @@$ out there in his wheelchair.

Will there be rioting in middle-eastern hell holes? Will 0bama commute his sentence as the last action of his failed presidency?

I think this worm will not die by execution in an American prison.

The media should leave him alone and not give him interviews and publish his hateful views. But they won’t.

As much as I would like to see it, it will never happen. Too many liberals in the justice system.

The President also has power to commute the sentence to LWOP. And once he does, it cannot be overturned by a Court or by a successor president. I have no doubt 0bama will do this.
