Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the decision to broadcast the execution of Nidal Hasan is not just a reckless act but a calculated move that could incite violence across the nation. The prosecution alleges that this event is a direct attempt to create a martyr, thereby igniting a wave of radicalization among extremist groups.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link
The prosecution submits that by allowing Hasan's execution to be livestreamed, the government is essentially handing him a platform to inspire others. In the prosecution's theory, this is reminiscent of how past executions have been used by terrorists to rally support.
The Domino Effect
The prosecution imagines that this act will lead to a series of retaliatory attacks, as radical groups feel emboldened by Hasan's martyrdom.
The Hidden Danger
The prosecution urges that the real danger lies in the message this sends to potential terrorists: that martyrdom is not only achievable but also glorified.
Closing Argument
The prosecutor alleges that this decision is not just misguided; it is a direct threat to national security.
Verdict
The prosecution alleges: The prosecution believes that the consequences of this livestream could be catastrophic, and the responsibility lies squarely with those who approved it.
