The drama surrounding this trial has been dragging out the inevitable, but I am more interested in the defense's case, and why it is taking so long to form a position.The Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009 will be back in court Tuesday.
Attorneys for Major Nidal Hasan are expected to present arguments in support of their request that the trial date be pushed for a second time. If another delay is granted, the trial – currently scheduled to begin in June – would be postponed until October.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder related to the shooting at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009. He faces the death penalty if convicted.
