Fourteen counts?

A day or so ago, Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison asked that Major Malik Nadal Hasan, the Ft Hood assassin, be charged with fourteen counts of murder instead of thirteen.  Pvt Francheska Valez died during the maelstrom.  So did the child she was carrying en utero.  Senator Hutchison cites Lacy's Law and Conner's Law as well as the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 to support her position.

Common sense would suggest she has a point.  Vengeance should ache to heap as much fury upon the head of Major Hasan as it could by adding any injury he did to anybody to the case against him.  I fear politics will ignore any indictment for the baby's death.  We'll see.

If the military does not execute this scum, it has no business keeping execution on its books as a possible consequence for crime.
