The man who made this statement is a disgrace to that thing most people know as good common sense.
Mr Galligan, you sir are an idiot... may your thirst for justice leave your throat scratchy and sore.

Get a grip. This is the American form of Justice. EVERYONE is presumed innocent until the jury comes back with a unanimous guilty verdict (in a capital murder case). Colonel (ret) Galligan is an experienced military defense attorney.
He's doin' his f'ing job. I want Major Hasan to have the best possible representation, the most respected judge, an unimpeachable jury, maybe even televised. Good luck to him. And I hope, expect he will be convicted and sentenced to death. And I hope before sentence is carried out he comes to the realization of what a terrible thing he did and embraces a sense of shame and regret -- to the point that he finds execution a release.
But that is just me.
