BANFIELD: Sentencing is under way in the trial of the Army major convicted of the Ft. Hood shooting massacre. Right now the victims' family members are speaking in open court facing him with their words. Military jury is going to decide if Nidal Hasan gets the death sentence or spends the rest of his life in prison. He admitted to killing 13 people and wounding 32 others at the Ft. Hood Army post back in '09, but did so in acting as his own lawyer which was odd. Prosecutors could call up to 16 witnesses in a bid to convince the jury to sentence Hasan to death. Starting next Sunday, police departments in Texas will be allowed to sell confiscated weapons. Think about it. Back on the streets. A new law is going to allow the law enforcement officials to sell the guns to the licensed officials. And big cities like San Antonio and Houston and Austin have decided they will not participate in this because of that fear, putting more weapons back on to the city streets. Police in Johnson City, Tennessee, say a spiritual disagreement may be the motive in a very strange murder-for-hire scheme. They say Thomas Ken Owens was arrested after he paid $500 for a down payment for a hit on his own uncle. His uncle is a minister and is also a local sheriff's deputy. Owens is a former local news reporter and finished seventh in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate from Tennessee last year. Did I say bizarre? That's really bizarre. And the next story could have you shaking your head in disbelief. The church group feeds the homeless in the same spot for six years, until this weekend when the police said, you hand out those biscuits and we'll arrest you. It's not a joke. Does the church have any recourse? And what about the city? What's their response to this? Details coming up.
