Military law experts are speculating about the pending punishment that Fort Hood gunman and former Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan will be given for allegedly killing 13 people and wounding 42 others last Thursday. The Fort Hood gunman is likely to benefit from the fact that the military provides defendants with far greater benefits and rights than common civilians receive in federal court, according to The Associated Press.
Those benefits have contributed to the staggering statistic that clarifies how no one who has been prosecuted by the military justice system has been executed in approximately 50 years. There has not been any indication as to whether or not the death penalty will be sought or if the prosecution will be satisfied with a lifetime prison sentence if the Fort Hood gunman is convicted.
Although the senior Army officer who will decide the case has yet to be announced, military law experts are projecting that the prosecution will look to charge the Fort Hood gunman with 13 separate charges of first-degree murder with each charge representing one of the 13 people who were killed in his attack.
Despite the fact that no one who has been prosecuted by the military justice system has been put to death in almost 50 years, there are five individuals who are on currently sitting on death row in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, according to The Associated Press.
The death penalty seems to be such a hot topic with people today. I personally have mixed feelings about it. Obviously, my opinion cannot speak for all.
