| 2013-05-30 |
| [Chicago Tribune] Accused Fort Hood gunman Major Nidal Hasan will ask a U.S. military court on Wednesday to rule he can represent himself at his trial this summer which could bring the death penalty on charges he killed 13 people in a 2009 shooting rampage. Jury selection in Hasan's military trial at Fort Hood was delayed until next week after he asked the judge, Colonel Tara Osborn, to let him fire his lawyers and represent himself. The trial is scheduled to start July 1. |

| #3 Has jury selection started yet? I want to be called out of retirement to serve. Of course, my attitude is "bring the guilty bastard in. We'll give him a fair trial before we hang/shoot him." I probably wouldn't get selected. |

| #2 I'm sure the numerous rolling delays in justice and continued bullshi* will ensure COL Osborn finds a comfortable federal post-retirement position. Keep milking colonel, there could be a star in this as well. |
