FORT HOOD TESTIMONY: DEATH OF PREGNANT SOLDIER

Testimony at the Article 32 hearing resumed on Monday, October 18th. The hearing is used to determine if there is enough evidence against Nidal Malik Hasan for a court martial. One of the accounts involved the pregnant soldier that was killed. Her name was Pvt. Francheska Velez.

Prosecutors, as well as media reports continue to refer to 13 people being murdered by Hasan. After reading about how Velez died, it should be viewed as an injustice not to include her baby as being among the dead.

Via the Austin Statesman:

Several witnesses recounted the last moments of Pvt. Francheska Velez, a 21-year-old Chicago soldier who was pregnant when she was shot and killed. Capt. Dorothy Carskaden, with the 467th Medical Detachment, testified she tried to comfort a young Hispanic woman.

"She was worried about her baby," Carskaden said. "She kept saying she was hit in the stomach and saying my baby, my baby."

Moments later, Carskaden was shot four times, in her hip, head and stomach but managed to survive.

Anyone who is pro-choice should read that and see if it doesn't make them re-think their views. The prosecution should be ashamed they didn't charge Hasan with the murder of 14.
