The military hasn't executed anyone since '61. It is a Loooooong and painful process to "death-certify" a panel for a capital punishment case. It is much cheaper to keep someone in jail for life than to execute them. We grant them all sorts of appeals; free appellate attorneys; multiple habeus petitions; etc.
There is literally a "band of anti-death penalty gypsies" who go around the country training military defense attorneys in how to litigate these cases. They openly advocate disobeying the judges instructions and doing whatever one can to screw-up the process. The military has become so PC that they bow to these extremists each and every time.
Hassan needs to get convicted and put into Gen-pop. He'll be treated "well" by the cats in lock-up. They like Muj assassins about as much as they like child-molesters.
