Lawyer Doubtful Suspected Ft. Hood Shooter Will Get a Fair Trial
KILLEEN, Texas – A lawyer for the Army psychiatrist accused in a deadly shooting spree at Fort Hood said Monday he asked investigators not to question his client and expressed doubt that the suspect would be able to get a fair trial, given the widespread attention to the case.
Retired Col. John P. Galligan said he was contacted Monday by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's family and was headed to an Army hospital in San Antonio to meet Hasan.
"Until I meet with him, it's best to say we're just going to protect all of his rights," Galligan said.

This man is a TERRORIST. Terrorists don't deserve a fair trial. He murdered innocent people for Allah. He is not nuts. He knew exactly what he was doing. Hang the SOB!!

This animal should get the same justice all the innocent people he murdered got! Animals do not deserve just, simply a bullet in the forehead!

Fair? Fair - like the innocent people who were gunned down Fair?
What are we trying to disprove? That it wasn't him. The one who had the gun in his hands. That he was suffering Pretraumatic syndrome.........
give me a break.......he performed a planned act of violence.....he does not deserve "Fair"........
O.F.
Agreed, remember Jack Black Pershing.By the way that was in the phillipines, many years ago. Look it up.

And that is an issue?
He did this on a military base....I believe they can send him to guantanamo...can't they?
Military tribunal next best thing.
Messy public law not needed.

The Army should make sure he gets all well & better, charge him with 13 counts of murder, 30 counts of attempted murder, have atrial, convict his ass, & then send him back down to Ft Hood to have to stand out on M60 or M16 range & let all the troosp down there get one shot at him. After that, wrap his ass up & bury him face down facing away from MECA. Let him see what 72 real ugly women look like in his heaven!!!!!!!!!
Too Many Lost
A jury of his peers ....?
jim240-natural gas- the only clean alternative fuel
he should be given his weapons back-and let the fallen comrades have at it. Live fire exercise.

What's a FAIR TRIAL? HIS RELEASE???
T in Stan
Several comments have been posted stating he is guilty. A bit early. Patience.
First the trial and then...
Impatient over reaction is something common for the Jihadist's.
Patience.
This is something we do not need to change.
Remember where "Change" has gotten us so far.....

Good, we need to save taxpayer money. The only thing I am concerned with is whether we hang him or shoot him, who pays for the rope or the bullet? I guess we can send the bill to Mecca.

Who cares? He is obviously guilty as there are many witnesses.

Yes he should get a fair trial then taken out back and hung with a rope that was soaked in pigs blood while at the same time being shot by a group of female sharp shooters with bullets that have been soaked in blood. Yes he should get a fair trial.
