The jury, which reached a unanimous verdict in seven hours, begins the penalty phase of the trial on Monday.

The 13-member panel must come to a unanimous agreement in order to recommend that the judge sentence Maj Hasan to death. If they do not agree, he will face a life prison sentence.

The US military has not executed a service member since 1961. There are five inmates on the US military's death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, all at various stages of the appeals process.

Among the last barriers to military execution is authorisation from the president.

I wonder whether Obama would authorize it indeed.

Since I rate the deed, due to its religious background, as terrorism, and also consider the fact that he did not act as a civil person in a civil environment, but as a soldier in the military, I am supporting an execution sentence.

Usually, in most cases I am not supporting the death penalty in civil criminal contexts as long as no very special circumstances apply.
