New Jersey Governor Mikey Cheryl is
0:02
having second thoughts on the execution
0:04
of Nidadal Hassan, a Muslim terrorist
0:06
who was convicted and sentenced to death
0:09
after shooting and killing 13 US Army
0:11
soldiers at Fort Hood in November of
0:13
2009. Nadan shouted Alahu Akbar as he
0:17
shot and killed 13 people and wounded
0:20
more than 30 more in the attack he said
0:22
he carried out for ISIS. Cheryl
0:24
described the killer as a man in a
0:26
wheelchair. Speaking on MS Now, Cheryl
0:29
felt sympathy for the young service
0:31
members being ordered to shoot, I quote,
0:34
a man in a wheelchair and warned the
0:36
emotional burden could last a lifetime.
0:39
>> And I think the thing as I think about
0:41
it that just keeps breaking my heart.
0:44
Imagine the 20year-old,
0:47
imagine maybe the 18-year-old that
0:50
stepped up to serve that gets orders and
0:52
says, "You're going to go shoot this guy
0:54
who's in a wheelchair." After Hassan
0:56
killed 13 people at Fort Hood in
0:58
November 2009, responding officers shot
1:01
him, leaving him paralyzed from the
1:03
waist down. A military panel convicted
1:05
him of 13 murders and 32 attempted
1:08
murders, sentencing him to death in
1:10
2013. President Trump approved that
1:13
sentence earlier this month. Initially,
1:15
Secretary of War Pete Hegsth wanted to
1:18
live stream the execution. Cheryl says
1:20
Hassan deserves justice, but condemned
1:23
plans to televise the execution. Trump
1:26
has since cancelled the live stream. The
1:28
execution by Military Firing Squad
1:30
remains scheduled for December 3rd at
1:32
Fort Hood. For more news, visit us at
