I’m pretty sure that Hasan is poisoning the jury pool by admitting to the jury that he’s the shooter and that he supports the Taliban as reported by the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Hasan told one colonel that Abdulhakim Muhammad, sentenced to life in prison for the June 2009 fatal shooting of a soldier outside a Little Rock, Ark., military recruiting station, was his “brother and friend.” Muhammad, who converted to Islam in college, has told The Associated Press that the shootings were an act of war on the U.S.<\/p>\n

In answering Hasan’s questions based on jury questionnaires they filled out about a year ago, several potential jurors said they had negative views of Muslims, the Quran or Shariah, the Islamic legal and religious code. But they said they could put aside those views and only consider evidence in the case – including a colonel asked by Hasan if “the fact that I do believe the Quran justifies killing” would prevent him from being a fair juror.<\/p>\n

The military judge, Col. Tara Osborn, told Hasan several times to rephrase his questions and avoid mentioning his beliefs and referring to himself as the shooter, saying he is acting as an attorney during jury selection. She reminded him that he was not testifying.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, she decided that he could represent himself, so Colonel Osborn is the one who will have the difficult job of reining the dipstick in while he turns his trial into a three-ring circus. Half of this group of twenty officers originally tasked for jury duty have been dismissed and other are expected to be dismissed next week when another group will be interrogated by Hasan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
