Public executions in the United States were halted nearly a century ago, making the decision to broadcast Hasan's capital punishment a notable shift in military judicial proceedings.

Legal and political experts highlighted in the report suggest that government officials may be misjudging the public mood regarding the return of publicly accessible executions.
