Judge delays Hasan trial until August
Defense had sought to push date to October

April 18, 2012

FORT hOOD, Texas (KXAN) - Military Judge Gregory A. Gross on Wednesday set an Aug. 20 trial date for Major Nidal M. Hasan, who is charged in the 2009 shooting rampage on Fort Hood that left 13 dead.

The ruling represents a partial victory for Hasan's defense team, which sought to push the court date back from mid-June until Oct. 9.

Prosecutors opposed any further delay in the trial date.
 ::snipping2::
On Aug. 20, the parties will begin to seat the jury, which is called a panel in the military. Gross will also likely hold other pretrial hearings between now and Aug. 20 and those will be announced as scheduled.

Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. He faces the death penalty or life without parole if convicted in the November 2009 shootings.

Fort Hood: Another Hearing Set For Accused Post Gunman
June 6, 2012

FORT HOOD (June 6, 2012)—A half-day administrative hearing is scheduled Friday at Fort Hood in the case of accused post gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army announced Wednesday.

Motions pending before the judge include discovery issues and whether the government should pay for the expert services of a neurologist for the defense.
 ::snipping2::
He’s scheduled to go on trial at Fort Hood on Aug. 20.

His court-martial was previously scheduled to begin on June 12, but in response to a defense request military judge Col. Gregory A. Gross announced the new date in April.

Hasan remains in the Bell County Jail, to which he was transferred from the military hospital in San Antonio, where he was taken after he was shot and paralyzed in an exchange of gunfire with two civilian police officers who are credited with ending the massacre.

Say what?! This crime is definitely a hate crime, imo.  Hasan growing his beard for religious reasons.  This video discusses "Growing the Beard" and starts the discussion at about the 1:26 mark.

Hearing delayed due to Hasan's beard
Trial to begin in August for 2009 crime

June 8, 2012

FORT HOOD, Texas (KXAN) - An unexpected twist brought the pre-trial hearing of Maj. Nidal M. Hasan to a halt on Friday when the presiding military judge stated on the record the hearing could not continue because Hasan was wearing a beard. By doing so, Hasan is in violation of Army regulations and rules for court martial, according to trial judge Col. Gregory Gross.

As a result, Gross delayed pre-trial motions until the near future, when either a closed-circuit feed can be set up for Hasan to watch the hearings from outside the court room or he complies with court order to appear with proper military grooming standards.
 ::snipping2::
Gross denied a motion in November from Hasan's defense team to recuse himself. The defense asked the judge disqualify himself from the trial since he works on the installation and was in court when the 2009 mass shooting happened.

The defense said Gross was affected by the shooting because of his close ties to the post -- adding that he has an "implied bias."

Still, the prosecution said they did not agree with the motion, saying Gross is capable of hearing the case.


Defense indicated their intent to file a request for exception to policy for religious accommodation to a higher command.

The motions that were scheduled for Friday were to include a new request for a further continuance, resolution of discovery matters and whether the accused should receive at government expense the expert services of a neurologist were delayed until the next Article 39a hearing.

Pending motions before the court included the resolution of discovery matters and whether the accused should receive the expert services of a neurologist at government expense.

Hasan's trial is set for Aug. 20. His attorneys sought in April to push that back to October, but their request was denied.

Survivors of Fort Hood massacre tell of fearing shooter would 'finish the job'
June 15, 2012

Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre say they expected the accused shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan, to “come in and finish the job,” according to exclusive interviews to be broadcast on "Fox Files: The Enemy Within."

“I saw the muzzle of the weapon pointed at me about six feet away,” Pvt. George Stratton III told Fox News in his first TV interview since the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting that killed 13 and injured more than 43 others.

Stratton, who had just turned 18 at the time of the shooting, said the readiness center was turned into a battlefield bathed in blood, as the wounded crawled to the exit doors to save themselves. 

“As soon as I got out the first set of doors, I got up to my knees, pushed the other door open and kneed my way out, and I got up to my feet,” he said.

Watch "Fox Files: The Enemy Within" at 10 p.m. ET Friday and 9 p.m. ET Sunday.
 ::snipping2::

When it came to Hasan, Manning said, there was a double standard. Hasan wrote emails to radical American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki – seeking advice on reconciling his Muslim faith with serving in the Army. This fact was known to the FBI.

“You could lose your security clearance in the Army for having bad credit and be kicked out of the Army. But you can't lose your security clearance for talking to a member of Al Qaeda, through e-mail. I mean, it doesn't make any sense," Manning said.

Despite calls from some members of Congress, none of the injured or murdered soldiers from the 2009 shooting has been awarded the Purple Heart.

I believe everyone should have a fair trial and access to an attorney (even this guy who killed and maimed in front of many witnesses).  However, I believe this is getting to be a real circus.  What about the rights of those who were threatened, lost their lives, were injured and etc.?  What about taxpayers footing the bill for this foolishness?  JMHO

Judge considers delay in Fort Hood suspect's trial
June 19, 2012

FORT HOOD (AP) — A military judge will hear arguments Tuesday on whether to delay the trial of an Army psychiatrist charged in the fatal 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas.

The judge postponed Maj. Nidal Hasan's pre-trial hearing earlier this month because the defendant had grown a beard, contrary to Army regulations. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, has said he will bar Hasan from the courtroom and force him to watch Tuesday's proceedings through closed-circuit television if he is unshaven. Gross has the power to bar defendants from court for such violations.

Hasan has been clean-shaven in all other court appearances since the 2009 attack, which killed 13 people and injured more than 30 others. He is an American-born Muslim, and his attorneys have said they will seek an exception to the Army's rule based on his religious beliefs.

Gross is expected to consider several motions during Tuesday's hearing, including whether to delay Hasan's trial until December. The trial was already postponed from March and then June, after defense attorneys said they needed more time to prepare. The trial is currently scheduled for Aug. 20.

Hasan's trial will not be delayed
Suspect's lawyer needs more time to review papers

June 28, 2012



A military judge on Friday ruled against delaying the trial of the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage.

Maj. Nidal Hasan's trial will proceed as scheduled, beginning Aug. 20.

Defense attorneys wanted the trial moved to December, but the judge said they already had plenty of time to prepare.

Prosecutors had indicated they were ready for trial last fall. The court-martial was set for March, but postponed to June and then August.

Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted in the 2009 attack on the Texas Army post that left 13 dead.

As he did during last week's hearing, Hasan watched Friday's hearing from a closed-circuit television in a nearby room. The judge has barred him from court until he shaves his beard, an Army violation.
 ::snipping2::
Hasan’s attorney said that he grew his beard out as an expression of his Islamic faith.

“Hasan grew the beard as a ‘deeply sincere’ expression of his Islamic faith and because he has a premonition he will die soon,” said lead defense attorney Lt. Col. Kirs Poppe.

Cornyn calls for release of FBI's Fort Hood report
July 13, 2012

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Austin, on Friday demanded the public release of an independent report into the FBI's actions before the Nov. 5, 2009, shootings at Fort Hood.

The report was scheduled to be delivered to FBI Director Robert Mueller on Friday, but it's not clear when a declassified version will be publicly released. The report, ordered by Mueller in December 2009, was prepared by former FBI Director William Webster and is expected to include 18 recommendations for the agency.

In a letter to Mueller, Cornyn called the report a "matter of tremendous public importance."

"The key findings and recommendations of this report must be made public, so we can glean any and all lessons from this incident," Cornyn wrote. "The American people and specifically the Fort Hood community in Texas have the right to know."

The FBI did not release the report Friday, according to Cornyn.

Lawmaker: Report on Fort Hood attack faults FBI
July 18, 2012

WASHINGTON — In emails to a known terrorist, the man charged with killing 13 people in a 2009 attack at Fort Hood expressed his support for suicide bombings and killing civilians glaring signs that the FBI did not act on but should have, a lawmaker briefed on a new report on the rampage said Wednesday.

Army Maj. Nidal Hasan told a radical Islamic cleric — a man well-known to the U.S. intelligence community — that he advocated using suicide bombers and that he believed it was OK to kill civilians, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, told The Associated Press. And the known terrorist, Anwar al-Awlaki, told Hasan in an email that the Army psychiatrist should keep the terrorist's contact information handy, McCaul said.

But the agents on the FBI's Washington anti-terrorism task force thought the issue of a Muslim soldier talking to extremists was too sensitive to bring up with the Defense Department, McCaul said the report found.

"It shows you the length of the political correctness stuff going on," McCaul said after he was briefed on the findings of the independent review Wednesday.

Release Hasan report carefully
Editorial Board
July 18, 2012

Testimony is scheduled to open Aug. 20 in the court-martial of Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder.

The timing could complicate the public release of a report analyzing the Federal Bureau of Investigation's handling of intelligence on the officer's contacts with a radical Muslim cleric before the Fort Hood massacre Nov. 5, 2009 that gave rise to the charges.

The contents of the report written by William Webster, a former FBI director, have the potential to setting up a conflict between the defendant's right to a fair trial and the public's right to know what's in the report.

Trouble is, we don't know what, if any, of the report's contents might impede an impartial trial constitutionally guaranteed to criminal defendants because we don't know what's in it yet.

In a statement, the FBI promised to release the unclassified portions of the report as soon as possible.

In a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller sent late last week, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn urged the release of unclassified information contained in a review on how the FBI handled information it had on Hasan's email exchanges with Anwar al Awlaki, the radical imam who was killed last year in a U.S. drone strike.

Awlaki was under FBI surveillance. The report, Cornyn wrote, is a "matter of tremendous public importance."

It is important, but the events are no mystery. Numerous witnesses have identified Hasan as the shooter and he faces the death penalty if found guilty.

Of interest is how the FBI handled information it had on Awlaki's contacts with Hasan in short, what did the bureau know and when did it know?

Even more important: Did they share complete information with military authorities?

Hasan found in contempt of court
July 25, 2012

FORT HOOD - Nidal M. Hasan has been ordered to shave his beard after being found in contempt of court at his pre-trial hearing Wednesday morning.

The trial began at 10:00 a.m. with Hasan in attendance. He showed up to court once again with a full beard.

Hasan was forced to watch the proceedings from closed-circuit television in a trailer outside the courtroom at his last hearing after he showed up with the beard which isn't in compliance with military standard.

This is the third time Hasan has shown up to court with a beard.
 ::snipping2::In order to secure the area for Wednesday's hearing, cargo containers were stacked two high around the Lawrence J. Williams Judicial Center and the building's parking lot.

Both the prosecution and defense are scheduled to litigate pending motions and discuss administrative matters.

Judge: Fort Hood suspect could be forcibly shaved
July 25, 2012

 ::snipping2::
Maj. Nidal Hasan appeared in court Wednesday sporting a beard, as he did during a court appearance last month. The beard violates Army regulations. Hasan says his beard is an expression of his Muslim faith.

On Wednesday, Col. Gregory Gross found Hasan in contempt of court for keeping the beard and fined him $1,000. Fort Hood spokesman Chris Haug says Gross gave Hasan the choice to shave on his own or be forcibly shaved sometime before his court-martial begins Aug. 20.

It's not yet clear what Hasan and his attorneys will decide.

Judge orders Hasan's beard shaved before court-martial
July 25, 2012

A military judge said Wednesday that accused Fort Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan will be forcibly shaved before his Aug. 20 court-martial unless the Army psychiatrist relents and agrees to remove the beard he has grown over the past two months.

Col. Gregory Gross, the judge, also found Hasan to be in contempt for violating Army grooming standards and fined him $1,000.

Gross and Hasan have been at odds over the beard since June, when Hasan appeared in court with facial hair he said he grew because of his Islamic faith. He petitioned Army officials for a religious exemption to grow the beard but was rejected in late June. Since he appeared with the beard, Hasan has watched pretrial proceedings on closed-circuit television from a trailer outside the Fort Hood courtroom.

Gross said Wednesday that he wanted Hasan in the courtroom during the court-martial to avoid a potential appeal. Hasan faces the death penalty on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the Nov. 5, 2009, mass shooting at Fort Hood.

Army rules say prisoners who refuse to shave "may be restrained with the reasonable force necessary" to apply electric hair clippers and a restraint chair may be used. All uses of force must be videotaped and officials must produce a "detailed written report" afterward.

Army officials have surrounded the Fort Hood courthouse with dozens of large shipping containers as a security measure in advance of Hasan's court-martial.
