Jury sentences Hasan to death for '09 Fort Hood massacre
'Moreover, the president must eventually sign off on a military death sentence, which would be carried out by lethal injection. '
'The death sentence required a unanimous verdict by the jury of 13 military officers. '
'FORT HOOD, Texas — Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist convicted in the November 2009 shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 31 wounded, was sentenced to death Wednesday by a military jury. '
'Hasan, 42, was convicted last week on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 charges of attempted premeditated murder. '
'Still, while Hasan could be the first serviceman executed by the military since 1961, the appellate process could take years. '
I wanted to learn more about the last serviceman executed & I made the mistake of clicking on a CNN link.
Army Pvt. John Bennett was hanged in 1961 at Fort Leavenworth prison in Kansas, convicted of raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl.
The Times story went on to say that during the six years between Bennett's trial and his execution, eight other black soldiers were executed -- but the six white prisoners on death row lived.
It then goes on a racial tirade.
During World War II, blacks accounted for less than 10% of the Army. During the war, 70 soldiers were executed in Europe and, of those, 55 were black
