The engineer accused of fatally shooting one employee and wounding five others at the firm where he once worked is "very mentally ill" and crumbled under the stress of his divorce, bankruptcy and unemployment, his attorney said Saturday.
Fort Hood shooter was psychologically disturbed by his own job citing stress-related thoughts after hearing his own patients post-war stories.
After all, could a defense attorney really say to a jury, "He's just a terrible person, a mean SOB but his mama loves him so I'm begging you not to give him the death penalty."?
The insanity defense eats up lots of time ( which is always to the advantage of the defense team since it makes the horror a distant memory) but I don't think it really is beneficial in the end. A jury will generally make the right decision.
The murders at Fort Hood are another beast altogether. As the truth about the shooter come out, I foresee a backlash for those with Muslim sounding names.
It is time to call your representives and to let them know that you are not pleased with the job the pentagon did. They knew he was a muslim and yet he was able to take up arms; to be called a UNITED STATES SOLDIER; and all along he had a different agenda then to protect and defend the constition of the United States of America.
Parents of those who are in the armed forces be blount with your children, tell them the dangers of serving with those who are muslim their agenda is so much different. We are all infidels! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE? MAYBE IT IS TIME TO FIND OUT!
GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES KEEP THEM SAFE ON THE BATTLE FIELD AND AT HOME.
