He will be executed. A 2006 study found that of 21,000 courts

UCMJ provides for deciding insanity before trial. Specifically a 706
Panel will be asked to answer four questions:


Even IF the military courts find him insane or sentence him to
something less than the death penalty, don't forget this business
happened in the state of Texas. If the sentence doesn't go
appropriately, the state will take a crack at the terrorist.

Texas, unlike the federal system, DOES actually execute those so
sentenced.


"This business" happened on a Federal reservation--does the state of Texas
have any jurisdiction at all with regard to events that take place on
military bases?
