REDSTATE (Teri Christoph) - We Now Know When and Where Nidal Hasan Will Be Executed — and There’s a Certain Justice to It
It's been 65 years since the U.S. Army last carried out an execution, when Pvt. John Bennett was hanged after being found guilty for the rape and attempted murder of an 11-year-old girl. It's been even longer since a military execution by firing squad has taken place; that last occurred on November 9, 1945, when Pvt. Dan Lee was executed in the Philippines after being convicted of murder and rape.
