Brasovan Response to TCC Letter

For Immediate Release: December 21, 2009

Will there be a 14^th charge of premeditated murder against Major Nidal Malik Hasan? The Texas Conservative Coalition (TCC) recently sent a letter to the Secretary of the Army, the Honorable John McHugh regarding the terrorist act at Fort Hood.  Major Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and tried under a military court martial.  The TCC is requesting an additional count of murder be added to the list of charges if it is found Private Francheska Velez was pregnant at the time of her death.

 

The Uniform Code of Military Justice states in part that:

 

(1) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in conduct that violates any of the provisions of law … and thereby causes the death of… , a child, who is in utero at the time the conduct takes place, is guilty of a separate offense…

 

Thirty-one Texas state representatives signed the letter, and it was copied to both U.S. Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn, as well as several Texas U.S. congressional representatives. We found it interesting Kay Granger was absent from this list.

 

As a candidate for U.S. Congress, District 12, Mike Brasovan fully agrees with the expressed concern in the TCC letter sent to the Secretary of the Army.

 

“I challenge Representative Granger to join me in publicly signing this letter and asking that Major Hasan be charged for this additional crime. I hope she will join me and the North Texas lawmakers in supporting these efforts to see justice done for ALL of the victims at Fort Hood,” said Brasovan.
