As promised<\/a>, John Galligan, the lawyer of the Fort Hood murderer Nidal Hasan, tried to convince the commanding general of Fort Hood to take the death penalty off of the table in that case reports CNN<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“The law accepts life without the opportunity of parole as an appropriate punishment for murder,” Galligan said. He described his meeting with Campbell as very cordial. “We had an opportunity to make our compelling argument that the (Hasan) case should be referred non-capital.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Galligan has insisted that a life prison term should be the most severe penalty under consideration and says a death penalty trial is more time-consuming and expensive.<\/p>\n
