This morning there was a break for #Hasan to talk to standby counsel about "an issue." Could that have something to do with early recess?

Prosecution should complete witnesses at #Hasan trial today. Will Hasan speak? He has opportunity for an "unsworn statement."

Hasan faces final chance for argument before punishment decided

Maj. Nidal Hasan


FORT HOOD — Maj. Nidal Hasan is approaching his last chance to make a statement or present an argument as the sentencing phase is underway in the Fort Hood shooting rampage that left 13 dead in November of 2009.
First, U.S. Army prosecutors will call their final seven witnesses.
 

Some legal experts say they believe Hasan might give an unsworn statement as early as today. Such a statement would not be subject to cross examination and could be read without interruption, but would carry less weight with the panel of jurors.

If Hasan refuses to make a statement or present an argument—like he did during trial—the jury panel of thirteen U.S. Army officers could begin deliberating his punishment as early as today. Last Friday, the panel found him guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

The panel will now decide whether to send Hasan to prison for life or give him the death penalty.

Despite the conviction, Hasan does not lose his rank of major until he's dismissed from the service.

"A sentence of death includes dismissal,” said Rick Rosen, a law professor at Texas Tech. "Even if Hasan receives life imprisonment, I am certain the court martial will dismiss him from the Army. The question is when does it become effective? As a general rule, a dismissal becomes effective only after the completion of appellate review of the case, which could take years."

Rosen said the commanding general of human resources command could allow an exception to this policy. Hasan will forfeit his pay and allowances two weeks after the sentence is announced.
