Rapid pace in long-delayed Fort Hood trial
Updated: 4:45 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, 2013 | Posted: 4:45 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, 2013

FORT HOOD, Texas — Since his arrest in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Maj. Nidal Hasan has challenged most everything about the case: restrictions on how he can pray, orders to shave his beard, the court-assigned attorneys forced to help his defense.
Yet the Army psychiatrist has barely contested anything in the first week of his long-awaited trial.
Hasan isn't questioning witnesses as they describe being shot, seeing their comrades killed and watching him open fire inside a crowded building at the Texas military base. He rarely objects. His opening statement lasted less than 2 minutes as he told jurors the evidence would show he was the shooter.

 

Hasan — who is acting as his own attorney — is accused of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others during the attack on Nov. 5, 2009, that remains the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military installation. The military attorneys assigned to help him believe he wants a death sentence, and two of them spent Friday drafting an appeal after the trial judge refused to let them take over or scale back their duties.
But that didn't break Hasan's impassive stare or silence as prosecutors continued to zip through witnesses, bringing the total this week to more than 40. The judge even offered Hasan a chance to speak up, after a soldier pounded the witness stand to simulate how rapidly Hasan fired his laser-sighted handgun.
"An objection of that description, Mr. Hasan?" Col. Tara Osborn asked Friday.
"No objection," Hasan said.
Hasan, 42, has indicated that he plans to call just two witnesses. Since the trial began Tuesday, he has cross-examined only two prosecution witnesses— his former supervisor and a member of his former mosque — and posed only brief questions.
He also didn't question the roughly dozen witnesses who testified Friday about the chaotic, bloody scene the day of the shooting.
Capt. Brandy Mason recalled being shot but initially thinking it was only a sharp pain.
"I kind of sat there looking dumbfounded," Mason told jurors. "I didn't think it was real. We sat there and looked at (Hasan), like 'Really?' Then somebody started screaming, 'Training or not, get down! Get down!'"
Staff Sgt. Joy Clark said she checked for vital signs of soldiers lying dead near her. "I had thought about possibly throwing a chair at the shooter but witnessed someone else do that and get shot," Clark said.
Sgt. 1st Class Paul Martin recalled bolting out a set of double doors and then running a zigzag pattern to make him a less easy target. "I said he'll have to shoot me again, but I know I'm getting out of this building," Martin testified.
Hasan objected only to one witness, Logan Burnett, as the former Army specialist described how he had undergone 20 surgeries and had three more to go after being shot three times during the attack.
Hasan interrupted Burnett, saying "aggravation evidence has its place," meaning the testimony wasn't about the alleged crime but rather its impact, which is more appropriate to cite during sentencing. Osborn sustained that objection.

How Hasan would defend himself was the biggest mystery heading into the trial. The American-born Muslim wanted to argue that the killings were in "defense of others," namely members of the Taliban fighting Americans in Afghanistan. But the judge denied that strategy.
His mostly silent defense so far may prompt prosecutors to scale back their case, said Victor Hansen, a former military prosecutor who now teaches at the New England School of Law.
"You may see fewer witnesses called," Hansen said Friday. "Instead of hearing from maybe two or three forensic experts, you may only hear from one or two."
Prosecutors said they would meet Friday night to discuss their strategy.
But Hasan was hardly a pushover for prosecutors ahead of the trial. He cited his religion in refusing to shave his beard, which violates military rules, and the fight delayed the trial last year and led to the former judge being removed. Other delays came when he dismissed his former defense attorney and then his Army-appointed defense attorneys, who were forced to stay on as standby advisers.
What remains to be seen is whether Hasan is saving any forceful arguments for later in the trial or whether he's offering the path of least resistance.
His standby attorneys think it's the latter. After the trial's first day, they accused Hasan of trying to secure himself a death sentence. Hasan's lead standby attorney, Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, told the judge that supporting such a "repugnant" defense strategy violates their rules of professional conduct, but Hasan called those accusations a "twist of the facts."

Day's horrors relived at Fort Hood trial
Some hit the ground and pretended to play dead

Chris Sadeghi
August 9, 2013

 
Law professor and former Judge Advocate Richard Rosen has helped provide legal analysis to media members covering the trial.

He says that while each survivor’s testimony is individually different, they all contain key consistencies that align and make the vision of what happened inside the Soldier Readiness Processing building much more clear.

“They are painting a picture of bedlam. A really horrific scene,” said Rosen, who believes such a vivid picture could figure into the panel’s decision on a possible death sentence for Hasan.

“It not only goes to the findings, but sets the ground for punishment,” he said.

Soldiers have consistently testified that a smoke screen from the gunfire filled the room amid a lot of screaming. Most people in the SRP hit the ground to crawl and hide.

And red and green laser sights from Hasan’s handgun lit up the darkened building like a laser light show.

Bullets and bullet fragments taken from survivor’s bodies have been presented as evidence while they testify about the impact of the injuries they suffered.

Most testified in a very composed manner while only occasionally a voice would crack when talking about fallen colleagues.

Hasan has yet to cross-examine any surviving witnesses.

“I’m sure they have been playing it in their mind ever since,” Rosen commented about the detail in which the soldiers testify to nearly four-year-old events.

“This was a moment everyone would remember.”

Rosen thinks even more emotional testimony could be yet to come.

“You are going to hear from the families and about their loss and aggravation. It will be very emotional.”

Through one week, the government has already gone through 44 witnesses, the majority of which were shooting survivors.
 
Osborn and Hasan agreed to let two of three defense counsel members be excused Friday so they could prepare a writ protesting their order to continue serving on the case.

Col. Kris Poppe remained by Hasan’s side Friday, but the writ is being filed after he and counsel filed a motion to be removed from the case or have their roles modified.

They argued that they feel Hasan is trying to intentionally seek the death penalty and assisting him violates a defense attorneys rules of conduct.

Osborn denied the motion and said their ethical concerns are not warranted and actually nothing more than a disagreement with Hasan’s strategy.

Hasan said Poppe’s assertion was a “twist of the facts.”

All three members of the defense counsel have been ordered
