Trump weighs live broadcast of Nidal Hasan execution; Pope condemns death penalty

The Trump administration is considering the first-ever live broadcast of a federal execution, specifically that of Nidal Hasan, convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. Pope Francis has publicly condemned the death penalty, framing it as depriving individuals of the chance to repent. The proposal marks a significant departure from U.S. execution norms and raises legal and ethical questions, though no final decision has been confirmed.
