Op-ed:
The actors are in place...the trial is ready to take
center stage
By: Diane Sori
While everybody is focused on the three-ring circus that is Attorney General Eric 'Fast & Furious' Holder, the theater of the absurd continues as Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 Ft. Hood shooting...you know the one Obama deemed 'workplace violence'...is now petitioning the court to represent himself when he goes to trial.
Instead of just turning a blind eye to
yet another of Hasan's never ending requests, yesterday, military judge Colonel Tara
Osborn ordered Hasan to undergo a physical exam to determine whether
he’s physically capable to do so (Hasan is paralyzed from the chest
down from gunshots fired during the attack by two Ft. Hood police
officers) after ruling him mentally capable to defend himself, and
issued a statement through a Ft. Hood spokesman, “The judge noted
that a prior inquiry into Hasan’s mental health indicated that he
had the mental capacity to conduct and assist in his own defense."
Now ordering the government to conduct
the physical exam and file a medical report by tomorrow so she can
rule on the results at Monday's scheduled hearing, this judge has been
trying to keep the trial on schedule after countless Hasan initiated
stalling tactics, including his stellar performance that as a muslim
he should NOT be required to shave his beard to comply with military
rules (Osborn set that issue aside).
And if by some chance the judge refuses
Hasan’s request to defend himself, rest assured he will appeal to
higher courts and request the trial be stayed, causing even further
delays.
And so the delays will continue one way
or another while we taxpayers foot the bill to keep Hasan well fed
and laughing at how he's made a mockery of our justice system,
because he knows that by defending himself new avenues for appeal
become available if he's found guilty, and we all know he's guilty as
charged. Defending himself also means that he’ll be able to
question and cross-examine witnesses, including the very people he's
charged with wounding, along with the family members of those he
murdered in what was, whether Barack HUSSEIN Obama likes it or NOT, a
terrorist attack.
But
gentleman that he is (insert sarcasm and look of utter disgust here),
Hasan has graciously offered to plead guilty on all charges
if the death penalty is taken off the table (something he has
previously twice asked for). Judge Osborn again refused the request because under military law a
defendant cannot plead guilty to a capital death penalty crime, making Hasan's offer just more theater, and believe me he
knows damn well the military rules regarding his type of case.
Does anyone else see the absurdity in
all this...
And it gets even more bombastically
infuriating as in this theater of the absurd Nadal Hasan continues to
get paid, racking up at least $278,000 in salary to date as he awaits
the court-martial proceedings to begin, because under the Military
Code of Justice, Hasan’s salary cannot be suspended unless he's
proven guilty.
Never mind that the people he
injured all saw who shot them...never mind that he was seen murdering
13...never mind all that because the Military Code says he has to be
officially adjudicated with a guilty verdict before his pay can be
suspended or forfeited.
Does anyone else see the absurdity in
all this...
And this is being played out while
the victims are still being denied the Purple Hearts they so
rightly deserve...Purple Hearts deserved because they were indeed injured in
battle NOT in an act of 'workplace violence' for this muslim bast*rd
kept shouting 'allahu akbar' as he pumped bullets into them...Purple
Hearts that would allow the victims additional medical care
and benefits for their families.
And while the judge will explain to
Hasan the many disadvantages of defending himself against 13
premeditated murder charges and 32 attempted premeditated murder
charges, if she does rule Hasan is physically competent to represent
himself at trial, she most probably will insist that defense
attorneys be present to assist Hasan if he needs it, as
military rules allow a judge to require a defendant representing
himself pro se to still be advised by military lawyers thus
preventing a possible mistrial due to what will assuredly be
theatrical outbursts by the defendant.
And
what will Hasan do in representing
himself...what will his defense be...NOTHING but jihadist rhetoric
and rants using the qur'an to justify his actions, and the liberals
sitting in the jury box...and rest assured there will be some
bleeding heart liberals in that box...will lap it up so as NOT to
appear racist against muslims (who are NOT a race by the way, but are
people of all colors and nationalities who follow the pseudo-religious
cult known as islam and
NOTHING more).
But if Hasan does become disruptive by
spewing muslim garbage instead of questioning witnesses, which
is very likely to happen, Hasan could lose the right to defend
himself leaving it up to the judge and government lawyers to hold him
accountable.
Oh what theater we're all in for as the
judge's ruling on Monday will determine if this trial becomes just
more play acting at political correctness or if justice finally
prevails for the Ft. Hood victims and their families.
I've got my front row TV seat saved and
my popcorn ready to be 'nuked'...it should be interesting to say the
least.
