Fort Hood....prosecution may not be allowed to present evidence......

[JohnnyReb]

The prosecution may not be allowed to present evidence that the attack was inspired by Islamic teachings and the Major's Islamic beliefs/motovation.

It's a short piece. Read it, it makes my eyes blood red with rage.

This is just plain wrong. What else can I say?

Who is the judge? Is he a obastard pocketpiece?

That would be a very odd move since Hassan has already admitted as much.

Colonel Tara Osborn, a female, apparently was selected for this case because she has death penalty experience. The linked story calls her "strict but fair."

I don't care who you are, however, in the military in this day and age, everything that talks toward faggots, rugmunchers, and muzzies had all better be marching lockstep with Barry and his thugs. Or else they do the duffle-bag drag.

The judge is Col. Tara Abbey Osborn, and she once served at Ft. Hood, the sprawling facility known as "the Great Place." Osborn has presided over "numerous serious felony trials, one capital trial and other non-capital homicide trials," a base spokesman said.

The capital trial involved Army Sgt. Joseph Bozicevich, who was found guilty of two counts of premeditated murder in the 2008 slayings of his squad leader and another soldier in Iraq.

Bozicevich, 41, was spared the death penalty and sentenced to life in prison after the military jury at Ft. Stewart, Ga., didn't return a unanimous verdict. The death penalty is an option in military trials only when a guilty verdict for premeditated murder is unanimous.

Hasan, 42, who could face the death penalty, is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

Osborn is uniquely equipped to handle the Hasan case, former colleagues say, describing her as a strict but fair judge.

"She has an outstanding reputation. She's been a judge for a while and she has death penalty experience, which is probably why she was selected," said Lisa Marie Windsor, a former Army lawyer who served at Ft. Hood and knows Osborn.

If the OP doesn't piss you off, this one will:

The judge in the murder trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan on Friday denied a motion from a civilian lawyer to allow victims of the Fort Hood shooting to talk about the deadly attack.

Col. Tara Osborn dismissed the motion, which was filed Thursday by attorney Neal Sher. Sher is representing victims of the shooting in a lawsuit against the federal government. Among them are Shawn Manning and Alonzo Lunsford, survivors who testified against Hasan, who faces 13 counts of premeditated murder and other charges.

The motion asked Osborn to lift her instructions to witnesses on making “extrajudicial” statements about the shooting. According to the motion, Sher said his clients had no interest in speaking about their testimony, but did want to speak out about their lives after Nov. 5, 2009.

“The prosecutors have told them that the prohibition extends to the matters about which they wished to speak,” the motion reads. “However, they have raised with me questions about the need and basis of such an order.”

In the courtroom Friday, Osborn said the order was “standard” and given to all witnesses.

“There’s no limitations on the press from what happens in open court,” she said. “This is a standard instruction I give to all witnesses.”
Osborn said the order was temporary and would expire at the end of the trial.

Sher represents more than 100 shooting victims and family members in a lawsuit that contests the Defense Department’s classification of the shooting as “workplace violence.” Many of those clients claim they were denied essential medical care and benefits because of the government’s refusal to classify the shooting as a combat-related incident.

Sher said Osborn gave “no significant explanation” for her denial of his motion. “Regrettably, some victims of the Fort Hood shooting are still being unfairly silenced,” Sher said in a statement Friday. “Judge Osborn’s cursory oral ruling failed completely to address the issues raised in my motion.”

Sher said he is contemplating an appeal.

Obastard has to get his nose out of our military forces, and out of our civilian court system. He's a lying, scumbag, bottom shit feeding, communist son of a bitch and he needs to be gone. All he wants from our military forces are photo ops.
