e Hegseth said in an interview posted on the US Department of War Facebook page that the execution will be held at 1 p.m., the same time as the shooting in 2009. Hegseth said the execution will be public. He's going to get a firing squad of soldiers as it should be, Hegseth said. We're going to make sure people can watch it, that it's public. Willingham doesn't find closure in Hasan's execution. I refuse to let the man who took my brother's life take away my capacity to love, forgive, and hope, Willingham said. Willingham said her faith has brought her peace. I believe that justice belongs to the proper authorities, Willingham said. Judgment, though, belongs to God. I trust Jesus with my brother and Nidal Hasan's soul. She added that she hopes Hasan will come to know the same God before that day. The main thing I would love to come out of this is that he (Hasan) would come to know Jesus before his final breath, Willingham said.
