http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/15/13299644-nidal-hasan-barred-from-pleading-guilty-to-murder-in-2009-fort-hood-shooting?lite

The fort hood shooter. Quite literally, will not be 'allowed' to plead guilty to his crimes, from the article:

"Under military law, Hasan is not allowed to plead guilty because the premeditated murder charges carry death as the maximum sentence and the government is pursuing the death penalty in Hasan's case."

What the what!? So, HE is ready to face up to what he has done, and accept death as his punishment.
We feel he should be charged for what he has done, and face the death penalty as his punishment.
So clearly, lets not let him just agree to death, lets MAKE him FIGHT what we want?

Is this just retarded military bureaucracy at work?

What's even more ridiculous is the Ft. Hood shooting was classified as "workplace violence" while the Sikh temple shooting was classified as domestic terrorism.

But yes, Military law has some weirdness to it.
