美国陆军精神科医生尼达尔·哈桑因2009年11月5日在德克萨斯州胡德堡医疗大楼枪杀13名美国士兵而被判死刑1。五角大楼宣布将以枪决方式执行哈桑，并计划对外直播，这将成为美国近一个世纪来首次公开死刑执行1。
枪击案幸存者伦斯福德曾被枪击7次幸存1，他表示支持枪决这一处刑方式，但反对将执行过程向公众直播1。伦斯福德指出："不审查而向普通公众展示整个过程，就我个人而言，我不同意"1。他认为此类处刑应仅限于幸存者和受害者家属等相关人士观看1。
这一直播计划引发了政治层面的争议1。防长彼得·海格塞斯主张公众应能观看直播，以了解此类犯罪的后果1。民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲称直播"令人厌恶"1，而共和党参议员托姆·蒂利斯表示公开处死是"专制独裁者"的做法1。此次执行将成为60多年来首次军事死刑执行1。法律专家提醒，直播过程可能在法庭上受到质证1。
Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan was sentenced to death for opening fire in a medical building at Fort Hood in Texas on November 5, 2009, killing 13 unarmed soldiers.1 The Pentagon announced plans to carry out his execution by firing squad and broadcast it publicly, marking the first open execution of a death sentence in the United States in nearly a century.1
Lenford, a survivor of the shooting who was struck seven times, supports the firing squad method but objects to livestreaming the execution as public entertainment.1 He stated: "To show the whole thing without it being censored for the general public, for me personally, I don't agree with that,"1 while indicating that viewership should be restricted to survivors, victims' families, and other directly affected parties. Defense Secretary Peter Haggelses has argued that the public should be able to watch the broadcast to understand the consequences of such crimes.1
The proposed execution has drawn sharp criticism. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy called the livestream "disgusting,"1 while Republican Senator Thom Tillis characterized public execution as a practice associated with "oppressive dictators."1 Legal experts have cautioned that the broadcast could face legal challenges in court.1 The execution will represent the first military death penalty carried out in over 60 years.1
