Jury sentences Hasan to death for '09 Fort Hood massacre - U.S ARMY FOR LIFE



FORT HOOD, Texas — Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist convicted in the November 2009 shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 31 wounded, was sentenced to death Wednesday by a military jury.

Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, saying Hasan’s murderous rampage at the sprawling military base here left tragic and devastating loss for victims and loved ones.

Hasan, 42, was convicted last week on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 charges of attempted premeditated murder. He appeared expressionless upon hearing the verdict, which came less than two hours of deliberations.

The death sentence required a unanimous verdict by the jury of 13 military officers. At minimum, Hasan faced life imprisonment. Still, while Hasan could be the first serviceman executed by the military since 1961, the appellate process could take years.

If they can't use lethal injection, I wonder if the Army still uses hanging if not a firing squad.

 

[carpro]

It's moot. He'll never be executed.

They still hang criminals in Japan. And they don't announce it until after the fact, so there are no bleeding-heart demonstrations or last minute efforts. They just hang the guy like they planned. and that is probably one reason there is much less violent crime in Japan than the US. (Plenty of white collar crime and spousal and child abuse, though.)

Kinda along the line of TR, "Walk softly and carry a big stick."
The big stick is useless unless it's used when required, & it seems Japan is doing so.
Seems the USA has given up on the big stick for the most part, and depends on mob edict justice.(????)
Just MHO of course!

There is another part to the Japanese "big stick," and that is something Americans won't go along with: incredibly strict laws about gun control. For example, a friend of mine who competed internationally told me he had to account for every single bullet to the police. So gun violence in Japan is almost unheard of, though it occurs in Milwaukee (south of us) every day. Caveat: Japan is an island nation with very strict import rules, so they can easily control gun ownership. Also, policing is by neighborhood (with two-man "police boxes" in every neighborhood.

He will soon find out that there will not be those Virgins awaiting him, nor Allah, but Jesus!!
