Nidal Hasan's Execution Will Not Be Livestreamed

Original: Nidal Hassan’s Execution Will Not Be Livestreamed, but the Idea Has Deep Historical Roots

The US Army major behind the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, which killed 13 people, remains on death row, and discussion has turned to whether his execution should be broadcast. Officials will not livestream it, but a New Lines Magazine piece argues the idea of public executions has deep historical roots and is being debated again.

Why now: Renewed attention to his long-pending death sentence and the historical debate over public executions.
