Why the US military wants the public to see the Fort Hood shooter's death | DW News

The US military says the December 3 execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, will be livestreamed. Pete Hegseth has defended the decision, saying the public should see the consequences of such crimes. Critics warn the broadcast could raise legal, ethical and security concerns. We discuss the implications with law professor Corinna Barrett Lain from the University of Richmond.
