His life on line, Fort Hood gunman blocks lawyers
MICHAEL GRACZYK and NOMAAN MERCHANT
August 28, 2013

 

Legal experts say he has a nearly unshakable right under the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to represent himself. The military judge, Col. Tara Osborn, has repeatedly warned him about the danger of being his own attorney, and the three lawyers assigned to help him have tried to step in at least twice.

Osborn denied their latest request Tuesday, and twice used the same metaphor.

"Maj. Hasan is the captain of his own ship," she said.

Any lawyer trying to save Hasan would have a daunting task. In two days of sentencing, prosecutors called widows, parents and other loved ones of the people Hasan killed. They offered a picture of their overwhelming grief and struggle to move forward after his attack. At least one juror appeared visibly emotional during parts of testimony.

Osborn revealed some of what Hasan's standby attorneys wanted to tell jurors as she reviewed and denied their motion. Among that evidence includes his good behavior in custody before trial and his offer before trial to plead guilty - which was rejected under military rules because prosecutors are seeking a death sentence.

But Hasan was dismissive of his standby attorneys' attempts. He repeatedly objected, and as one of them asked to argue the motion, he commented that he had "overzealous defense counsel."

Osborn is "in a tough situation, no matter what happens," said Victor Hansen, a military law expert at the New England School of Law, in an interview earlier this month. "At the end of the day, the defendant has the absolute right to decide who's going to represent him, including deciding to represent himself."

Hasan stays silent prior to his sentencing
BY SCOTT HUDDLESTON, SIG CHRISTENSON :
AUGUST 27, 2013 : Updated: August 27, 2013 4:36pm

FORT HOOD - Maj. Nidal Hasan made no statement this afternoon to save himself from a possible death penalty for killing 13 people at Fort Hood four years ago, setting the stage for the jury to decide his fate Wednesday.

The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, carefully quizzed Hasan, making sure his decisions not to present a statement, testimony or witnesses while representing himself in court were “free and voluntary.”

“In other words, Maj. Hasan, you are the captain of your own ship. Do you understand that?” Osborn asked.

“I do,” Hasan replied.

That exchange followed a second day of testimony from government witnesses who discussed the Nov. 5, 2009 mass shooting and the devastating impact it had on them personally.

Jury to weigh life or death today for convicted mass murderer Maj. Hasan
By Jason Whitely
August 28, 2013

FORT HOOD – Prosecutors will spend an hour Wednesday morning asking a jury panel of U.S. Army officers to give Maj. Nidal Hasan the death penalty for killing 13 and wounding 32 during his 2009 shooting rampage on post.
Hasan did not present any defense during the sentencing phase of his trial and it’s uncertain if he will offer anything during closing arguments. His standby attorneys asked the judge on Tuesday if they could present a defense on Hasan’s behalf but she denied it.
The jury is likely to begin deliberations late this morning or early this afternoon.
The first question they face is whether to give Hasan the death penalty. If they vote unanimously for it, then deliberations end and the verdict is returned to the court. But if a single juror votes against the death penalty in their secret ballot process then Hasan will get life in prison.
The jury already found Hasan guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder last Friday.
