Hassan to face the needle | |||
2011-07-06 | |||
Fort Hood's commanding general announced the decision Wednesday for Maj. Nidal Hasan.
Hasan's lead attorney, John Galligan, had urged the commanding general not to seek the death penalty, saying such cases were more costly, time-consuming and restrictive.

#8 Bobby, unless x = 0, x/0 is plus or minus infinity. 0/0 is indeterminate. |

#7 IIRC, x/0 is "undefined"... |

#6 x/0 = infinity. Is that what you meant to say? |

#5 A US military death sentence means nothing. Reagan reintroduced it into the UCMJ, and W. Bush tried to execute a murderer, but some military commander commuted it. The best bet would be once convicted, to turn Hasan over to Texas authorities for trial about the civilians he killed. The lucky Texas prosecutor who got that would do everything by the book to insure that Hasan met his maker ASAP. And the chance of the governor of Texas commuting his State sentence is divided by zero. |

Yes, I'm sure our esteemed counselor is extremely concerned about the resources that will be spent on this. Just lookin' out for the taxpayer, right, counselor? |
