| Arkansas Shooter Cops A Plea To Avoid Death Penalty |
| 2011-07-25 |
| A man who confessed to shooting two soldiers outside a military recruiting station in Arkansas has pleaded guilty. Abdulhakim Muhammad pleaded guilty on Monday after the judge at his trial read the charges against him. Muhammad's sentence hasn't yet been announced. Prosecutors were originally seeking the death penalty for Muhammad on a charge of capital murder in the killing of Army Pvt. William Andrew Long. He also was charged with attempted capital murder for wounding Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula in 2009. Muhammad confessed to the shooting he says it's justified because of U.S. military action in the Middle East. |

| #4 he says it's justified because of U.S. military action in the Middle East I still have to see a Muslim shooting an islamist imam for what Al Quaida and affilistes do in the Middle East or in North Africa. None of their indignation ever goes in that direction. |

| #2 he says it's justified because of U.S. military action in the Middle East. Dude, that excuse wouldn't get you out of a parking ticket. |

| #1 The prosecutor probably rightly figured that the defense had succeeded in putting at least two recalcitrants on the jury, who would vote to not give him the death penalty anyway. |
