This is going to be interesting for sure. I think what will say how this case is going to be handled will be by who gets picked or appointed to be his
lawyer. I would bet serious money that along with his military lawter, C.A.I.R. will put up money to have a civilian lawter help represent him as
well. If that happens, there will be no death penalty or long prison sentence but rather he will end up in a psych ward somehwere until he fades from
peoples memory and then will be released. It is sad but true. The U.S. governemnt doesn't have the spine to stand up to such pressure from a group
like them (CAIR) and will back down. They probably are already talking to someone at the Whitehouse to this done right now.............
Regarless of who the get to represent this Major, his military carreer is over, even if he is found insane, and that is highly doubtful that they can
get that to stick, his military carreer is over. Under the UCMJ, he is going to have to go through a court martial. The number of charges that they
are going to throw at him are very numerous, about 16 is from what I can see, (Articles: 93. 95, 98, 108,116,117,118,119,128,113, 134 {6 different
charges under article 134}) If anything, he is going to be given a dishonorable discharge, a loss of all pay and entitlements, and prison time, if he
is sentenced to death by a military court, his family will not be entitled to any of his assets.
Based off of what I could find out, as there is no official declaration of war, Treason is not a charge they will get him on, though sedition is one
that will be more likely that he will face. And even if his lawyer is able to get him out of that, when he is finally released, there will be the
civil trials that he will face, and possibly civil ontop of that by the survivors and people who were shot. But right now I am waiting to find out
what all was on his computer and what all the evidence is going to be shown. At the same time, he could request a closed session, and then no one
will get to hear what all goes inside.
