Legal path seems narrow to challenge livestream of Fort Hood shooter’s execution, experts say

The briefing

Legal experts note that challenging the Pentagon's plan to livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan presents significant legal hurdles. While army regulations prohibit minors from witnessing military executions, attorneys suggest that only Hasan himself has clear legal standing to file a habeas corpus petition against the livestream. The execution, scheduled for December 3, will be the first military execution by firing squad since World War II.
