Update: Jury set, opening arguments have begun.

Pfudd: Yes, he did attack a jailor, but not the one you speak of. My husband wworked for the Pulaski County Detention Facility at the time of the attack. Muhammad was not directly involved in the attack of the jailor you speak of. The jailor that Muhammad attacked was only stabbed in his duty belt. Not trying to defend Muhammad, because he deserves the severest punishment available, but you might want to check your facts before you post.

He's admitted his guilt, has no remorse. Why are we wasting tax dollars on this trash? Why does he even deserve a trial? Facing the death penalty? It should be a no-brainer. This country has went straight down the toilet.

I meant 2 soldiers he shot..I know he only killed one, but he did seriously injure another...

As a military member in the U.S. Army-R I take no mercy in seeing this guy root. He keeps saying he wants to defend himself. Please let him, lets see how far that gets him. The only justice too me in this case would be death. I would also request that instead of putting him in prison in Arkansas, how about putting him in a military prison, say Levenworth. I think he will get treatd just fine around a bunch of military guards. Also, anyone who knows the military, knows that the 2 soldiers he killed werent completly in the military because they just got back from boot camp and doing what is called "Hometown recruiting". They never even posed a threat too any islamic countries. So please hang him, shot him, or whatever means is necessary to put in out of this world or better yet let me get put in a cell with this character of a little while..I promise it wont take long.. COWARD!!!!!!!1

Now that jurors are selected they will yell he didn't get a fair trial in the city of Little Rock and put in a motion to have it someplace else. That reminds me I still need to go shoot my new sniper rifle. He needs to be released. Released on the rifle range and allow anyone and everyone the opportunity to sight in their weapons. I would drop him from a low flying C-130 over Yemen without a parachute.

Carlos, your a sorry excuse for a human being, your actions, your attitude, your whole person, all are not needed in the USA, your soul can rot in he77. You should have stayed in Yemen and lived your sorry life there, instead of coming back to this great country and destroying the lives of the American Soldiers that you mindlessly murdered, and the people you have hurt. You will not be missed when your pathetic little life is finally wiped away. Bury him face down, what a disgrace!!!!!

Sweet graphic.

Alfisher, I am not trying to call you out but I have to ask if you are familiar with the two attacks he has carried out in jail. He has attacked an inmate and a deputy and I know from a person that works there, that the deputy was in the hospital for several months and will never work again. I didn't press for details out of respect but the impression I got from my friend, is that the deputy is going to require care for the rest of his life. That is 3 attacks on 4 people in less than 2 years and if he is sentanced to life, he will probably be in jail for 50+ years. Odds are he will try to kill or mame more staff or inmates in that time. I also don't buy the crazy claim because it isn't like he snapped and shot someone. He was born in TN to what sound like good responsible parents. He went to college, converted to Islam, traveled to Yemen where he sought out Al Qaeda an trained to become a terrorist. After returing to the US, he planned the attack on the recruiting center and while in jail was able to make a "shank" to try to kill again. All the time, claiming that his attack was his contribution on the holy war with the U.S. To me, that sounds like he knew and is currently aware of the consequences of his actions.

Maybe I'm too nice, but I don't feel lethal injection should be used in this case, the guy's attorney feels that his client is mentally sick, so I think in all fairness he should be allowed to sit in the good ole electric chair and wear a special metal helmet with battery terminals posted on the top :)

Let me on that jury, I promise you I wont impose the death sentence on this one... i nice long life in solitary I think is a much better fit!! And I might see if they dont have an extra room for his father if he dosnt quit spewing off about a fair trial!!
