#1 That's what I thought.

Hasan's defense is that he has no defense.

#2 conviction and death sentence
Is there a problem with that?

Remember the scene in Blazing Saddles where they were going to hang a guy in a wheelchair? Works for me.

#3 Sometimes the guilt of the accused is clear as daylight. The rest of the clap trap is all ritual to satisfy the legal caste but does nothing but hinder the very reason of their existence - justice. Form over substance.

#4 This trial should be over. Guilty. Death sentence. The only issue that should be under discussion is the manner of death - hanging quickly, hanging slowly, lethal injection, transfusion of pig blood. (Not firing squad - too good for him.)

#5 Glenmore,
I think that this should be used as a history lesson. The 14th - 17th centuries (heck go BC) are replete with innovative, long lasting and painful ways to get rid of vermin like this.

I believe Vlad had one he was fond of using on Muslim invaders.

#6 Yes, the main column of an invading Turkish army
found their vanguard impaled on the fence posts bordering the main road, all 20,000 of them, mostly still alive...when they reached the last of them, the whole army turned to a man and returned to Istamboul! Thanks, Vlad Dracula!
When asked by the Russian ambassador where he had acquired his "peculiar" tastes, Vlad answered that in his youth, as a slave/hostage in Istambul, he saw a christian slave eviscerated in the street at every couple of feet...an impaled one every street corners..etc...
