Army's 32 additional charges against Ft. Hood shooter exclude preborn baby's murder

Army's 32 additional charges against Ft. Hood shooter exclude preborn baby's murder According to the Examiner.com, the Army yesterday issued 32 additional charges against Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, but they did not include the charge of murder against Pvt. Francheska Velez's preborn baby, killed when she was killed...     On Wednesday... Hasan was charged with 32 additional counts of premeditated attempted murder on the lives of 30 members of the military and 2 civilian police officers.     These charges are in addition to the 13 counts of murder he has already been charged with in last month's shooting spree in Killeen, TX. Recall Velez was only at Ft. Hood to begin with because of her baby. According to Fox News...     Velez... recently had returned from a tour of duty in Iraq.     According to family members, Velez had been back for just 3 days before the incident. She returned home early because she was 3 months pregnant. She happened to be in the building filling out paperwork due to her pregnancy when the gunman opened fire....     Velez was expecting a baby boy in May. The Army dishonors not only Velez's baby but Velez by ignoring his murder. And the Army ignores the law by doing so, namely the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, a federal law passed in 2004 that also codified the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
