| Death Penalty to Be Sought in Fort Hood Case |
| 2010-04-29 |
| Military prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty against Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist charged with shooting 13 people to death at Fort Hood. His lawyer, John Galligan, said he received notice Wednesday outlining an aggravating factor: that more than one person was killed in the same occurrence. Experts in military law say that is the Army's way of saying it plans to seek the death penalty. |

| #9 For once I hope the Army does not get the death penalty, because the Army almost never executes anyone. Instead, they should only put him in Leavenworth for four years, then turn him over for trial in Texas. And the Texans would be more than happy to execute him with minimal delay. |

| #8 Will be interesting to see what punishments his clinical and educational supervisors get , also his programme director and whoever else is accountable for this . Theres no way that this chap could have made it through training without many many performance triggers not being investigated fully . There is a hell of a lot of accountability to be investigated long after this chimp hangs The Shipman enquiry over here highlighted and introduced wide ranging reform to medical practice training |

| #4 Wednesday outlining an aggravating factor? Would that be jumping up on a table, shouting Allahu Akbar and blowing innocent soldier's brains out? |

| #1 Pity he wasn't a terrorist or he would just get life in Guantanamo surrounded by his buddies. |
