US bishops' president condemns planned livestreamed execution of Nidal Hasan
Original: Archbishop Paul Coakley, President of the US Bishops’ Conference, expresses shock over the planned livestreamed executio
Archbishop Paul Coakley, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said he is shocked by plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army major convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. Coakley warned that a publicly broadcast execution would 'further undermine the moral fabric of our nation,' adding to debate over how the death penalty is carried out in the United States.
Why now: A senior US church leader's condemnation of an unprecedented publicly broadcast execution is drawing attention to the death penalty debate.
