All the evidence; hell, even the whole incident is old; what's it matter now?

Lawyers representing the family members of those killed and injured in the Ft. Hood shooting rampage were outraged today when an Army judge limited prosecutors from introducing evidence, including emails to a known Al Qaeda operative, that would establish accused shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan's "jihadi" motives.
The judge's rulings could inhibit the ability of the victims' families to claim in a civil suit that the shootings were an act of terror. Federal lawyers involved in the civil suit claim that the people shot during Hasan's murderous rage were victims of workplace violence, a designation that could sharply limit the damages in a civil suit.
"This is first degree mass murder case and motive is absolutely relevant to prove premeditation," said Neal Sher, a lawyer representing many of the victims and their family members in a separate civil suit against the government.
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, ruled today that prosecutors could not mention Hasan's correspondence with Alwaki, an American born al Qaeda recruiter and organizer. Osborn also barred prosecutors from mentioning Hassan's interest in seeking conscientious objector status and drawing parallels to a 2003 incident in which another Muslim American soldier attacked U.S. troops in Kuwait, according to the Associated Press.

One hypothesis is conspiracy.
The other is an attempt to prevent precise, clear
exposure of those traitors in the military
and Obama Administration
working with al Qaeda
to help murder Americans and America before the fact.
I wonder if Eric Holder will pick up the case after the verdict to see if Hasan committed any ‘Civil Rights violations’?
The judge and prosecutors are on the side of hiding jihad, this is amazing - he doesn’t need a defense when they are both on his side.
Well I guess our darling Tara will no doubt get a promotion and nice pay raise and probably a bonus to boot. Isn’t it great that the ‘elite’ follow orders so well?
What other motive could there have been, that the “judge” would allow... and one which did NOT point to islamofascism?
This is the judge taking orders from JAG on high... ie. obamaumao the moosleems friend. Him and holder.
Obama obviously has made it clear to the judge that he doesn’t want this trial to expose this crime as anything but workplace violence. Too much evidence of motive could make him look like an idiot for denying this was an act of terrorism.
What a lot of these pro se nutjobs will do is do the trial pro se and then bring in counsel for an appeal when they are convicted.
IIRC, the perp admitted jihadi motives in his opening statement.
problem > nutshell
flame away > past caring
Didn’t we just go through this with the ****** saint ?
The shooting happened November 5, 2009.
The emails were from December 2008 and June 2009:
Four months hardly seems "old" for murder or terrorism.
This guy is going to be convicted - this ruling won't change that.
I'm very sympathetic to the victims, but the purpose of this trial is not to prove their civil case. Their lawyer can subpoena these documents and introduce them in his case.

I wonder what the judge’s muslim name is.

What possible reasoning or excuse could the judge give for such a decision? It is indefensible.

I’ll never flame you for that opinion!
Holder and Obama called it work place violence. Never did I hear of anyone charged with not just murder, but; many killings of our soldiers sitting in a cell or anywhere collecting salary and bennies. Hell, we have an Army Suitability Evaluation Board, too. That Board could have thrown this clown out with zip I believe as he is an MC major, and; many do not even have 8 years of service. Regardless, paying this b-while our troops get zip-sure looks bad and turns my guts. I wish I had been the article 32 officer and had some insight/pull with the Ft Hood CG or even Post CO. The Post CO cannot care much as his career is fini. O-6’s going no where are made post CO for their last assignment.
Where or when did women flood the JAG Corps?
